In our Multimedia and Web Design program, we have computers but we don't have the ability to draw; our students can only create digital designs with a mouse. We spend time learning the software (Adobe) and learn about the fundamentals of design but we can't take those design principles and apply those skills to computer design. We use the mouse but when you are creating designs, the mouse can not give the detail or the creative depth that a drawing tablet would allow. Their world will open up with using these drawing tablets as they learn about graphic design. Please help me.
