* Dear Venkatesh Choppella: Thanks for the notes on teaching OrgMode etc.: While reviewing your class notes and emails to your class about OrgMode and TeX/LaTeX I came across your suggestion to students to play with:

http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

** Detexify can be useful; but, this may give your students more traction/uses:

http://webdemo.visionobjects.com/equation.html

---which not only suggests an equivalent TeX/LaTeX; it provides a MathML suggestion as well.

*** Disclaimer: I have no relations to visionobjects.com that I know of (but the example site looks free to play with at least).

I use org-mode to keep track of grades and all other information I
collect on students. I make great use of tables, table formulas, tags,
headlines, and lists. I can compute a grade in milliseconds. Entering
data is a snap. Since everything is plain text, I can add comments with
ease and use git to keep track of everything.
