Recommendations for digital board pen

4 replies

Can anyone recommend a digital pen and board to be used while teaching remote lessons? I’ve been relying on ‘here’s one I made earlier’ style PPT slides but the need to model live writing is getting more pressing as we settle in for the long haul online! I’ve been using the chat bar to take student contributions and live edit them: it does work but not a great option long term.I’m also thinking that it could be very useful when we return to school since we now have TV monitors rather than projectors, so can’t annotate on whiteboards anymore.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

I'm using a Wacom - it's quite good but as I use 2 screens I can't make it calibrate ...yet! Growth mindset and all that. It does mean I can use Notebook in pretty much the same way I can in class.

I'm thinking of moving back to tutoring - tutored 11+ here in Kent a few years ago - so all gadgets will come in handy!!

I've got a Huion one from Amazon, is pretty decent and being able to write over PowerPoints whilst sharing in Teams is great

Thanks. Very useful. I like the idea of writing over PowerPoints!

XP pen is the one I have. Excellent and have been using it daily for over a year now.
