I would really love to have this Graphic Drawing Digital Tablet to help my students with their writing. As young learners, they are still learning how to form their thoughts and put them into coherent words. One of the challenges we face is not having the proper technology to hand-write on a whiteboard, like we would in the classroom. For example, this tablet would give me the ability to draw maps and teach the regions of Virginia. We could also use this to create Venn diagrams to compare and contrast different characters in the different books we will read. As an English and Virginia studies teacher, I would like to have an XP-Pen Graphics Tablets to use while virtually teaching. The tablet will allow me to write on digital documents using a tablet and stylus pen, instead of writing with a computer mouse or touch pad. A digital tablet will be a needed asset to effectively teach my students by working through them as if they were in the real classroom. Help me give my students the means for the best education while they are learning in a virtual environment with a digital tablet. Working at school will help me to reach my students at home like they were in the classroom with me. Today, more important than ever, they need to be properly educated.
