Pen Tablet for Annotation/Drawing

If you do not have a touch-screen device, it can be difficult to write or draw using just a mouse. Enter the Pen Tablet! These devices come in many different price ranges and are made by different vendors, but I opted for a "generic" version from Amazon. I do have other touchscreen devices to use, but when I am at my desktop PC, I needed a quick alternative and this fit the bill.
I chose a small version as well, so it can just fit neatly on my desk and not be in the way if I am not using it. This one is from Amazon and I liked it because it did NOT require charging (you simply use one AAA battery). The pen has a "clicker" on the top so you can turn it on and off (so you are not draining the battery) which is a great feature! This pen tablet only works with PC/MAC - you just need to install a quick program for it to work (takes less than 10 minutes from opening the box, to installing, to using).
What do I use this with?  I can use it in live sessions or with recorded videos. I can use it to electronically sign forms. There are a lot of uses!
​There are a number of different whiteboard/drawing that you can use for in-person or remote learning. These listed below are all FREE:
  • Jamboard by Google
  • Google Canvas
  • Classroom Screen
  • Whiteboard Chat
  • Sketch.io
  • Microsoft Whiteboard
  • OpenBoard

You can also use this pen tablet with other programs like Seesaw, Explain Everything, etc.
