I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users.

Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

How about y'all?

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house.

No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?
