New EdTech Classroom is excited to announce our new brand partnership with Wacom, an industry leader in pen tablet technology!
Here at New EdTech Classroom we believe strongly that the right combination of research-based instruction and innovative technology tools can transform the world of education. We also know in order for teachers to feel comfortably teaching in a fully technology-integrated environment, all the easy-to-overlook implementation details must be addressed.
Perhaps no detail more important in making the transition to digital curricula is the challenge teachers and students face when trying to write on digital resources with only a mouse or trackpad. There’s a reason so many educators continue to choose physical whiteboards and overhead projectors. We would too if we didn’t have the right tool in hand.
That’s unfortunate because digital whiteboards and digital materials offer high-level functionality their analog counterparts simply can’t. Teach with a digital whiteboard, for example, and you can screen record your lesson for students to watch at their own pace or simply take a screenshot to post as a reference. Plus, you never have to erase it. And that’s only scratching the surface of what’s possible.
We know from experience that the frustrating difficulty of trying to write with a trackpad or a mouse is enough to make teachers drop the idea of using many of the dynamic tools available to teachers altogether. Luckily, with a Wacom pen tablet, it doesn’t have to be this way.
As a leader in the pen tablet industry for years, Wacom’s reputation as a trailblazer in the world of digital ink speaks for itself, and they’ve recently made their suite of products particularly accessible for educators. The One by Wacom is Chromebook compatible, portable, easy to use, and one of the most affordable pen tablets available.
