Using the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet/computer my students will be able to take their virtual learning to another level. With this computer I am able to record my screen, annotate on my screen from multiple platforms such as PowerPoint and OneNote, and write on the work they submit so the students can see, in real time, my feedback about their work. My students will be watching videos that I record on each topic I teach. Recording and teaching with the Microsoft Surface Pro produces a much better product because they see me interacting with them and writing out each step as I do it. Chemistry can captivate a student's attention with all it's moving parts in an experiment. They can see color change, measure a temperature change and find similarities and differences in reactants and products. The abilities of the Surface Pro helps make all these skills come to life, even from a computer screen located in a student's home.
