Microsoft Lens: Scan in Assignments

What is Microsoft Lens?

Microsoft Lens is recommended if you don't have a scanner but need to submit physical documentation (such as written homework or signed forms) digitally through email or Blackboard. Lens serves as a scanner that you use by taking a picture with your phone.

According to Microsoft:

Microsoft Lens trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable. You can use Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and you can even save images to OneNote or OneDrive. Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes from whiteboards or blackboards.
