As you probably know, I love to present my lessons using onenote. I write directly on my computer screen and it gets projected on to my whiteboard. I am faced with the prospect of losing my Toshiba Tablet PC supplied by my school at the end of next year. So, I need a solution.A colleague recently alerted me to the DuoPen, which works in a similar way to the Epson Brightlink projectors. You attach a small receiver on the top of the laptop screen (connects to usb port) and then you can use the supplied pen to write on the screen and control it, as you would with a mouse. Some YouTube videos show that this is quite good quality (which is one problem that I had with the brightlink projectors)
For Mathematics Education, I think it is a must that we are able to digitize our work (including all the equations).
To get more information and to purchase you can visit edsoft, or I have seen them available on ebay for AUD$80 or AUD$100.
Other Solutions?
I have previously posted about the amazing Samsung Windows 8 tablet (still not yet available) and also how to create an interactive whiteboard (IWB) using an iPad, Griffin Stylus and the Epson Brightlink projectors and Wacom tablets.
Well, well, well. I need to say that the Android plateform for computer tablets is mcuh more versatile than iPad. Although iPad offers quite a bit more software to play with, the Andriod plateform gives a better practical operation. Take for example, the Asus Eee Pad Transformation is a great piece of hardware that you might love if you give it a try.
