Technology is used in the classroom to write down notes, look up facts, check our answers, and for helpful insight. As a teacher to be able to project good quality notes is a plus and be able to write with a good stylus makes it 10 times better. \r\n\r\nMy students love getting treats as an incentive when we compete. Winning a stylus gets them really excited especially the ones that don't have one.
