hi this is magnet in this video I am
going to talk about pros and cons of
using graphic tablets in education let's
get started this is the second video
about graphic SS if you didn't watch the
first one you can click the link above
go watch the first one and then come
back in the first video I talked about
introduction to this technology and now
we will discuss advantages and
disadvantages writing is one of the most
important part of teaching process it is
really hard to teach some topics like
mathematics physics without writing
using powerpoints or showing slides
doesn't work in math classrooms I will
show you what I mean I created this
PowerPoint presentation three years ago
I was trying to teach mathematics with
technology and I wasn't aware of this
before and then I created PowerPoint
presentations for each section it looks
like this and I was teaching at the same
time everything is prepared and it comes
fi step I thought that it works but my
students asked me to teach traditional
not only one student most often did that
they want me to write things step by
step while I am teaching and I found
this one
and I started using it three years ago
it was one of the most important
discovery of my life and teachers need
to write each step one by one slowly by
explaining and this technology allows
you to write in real time so instead of
just displaying steps on the computer
screen you can write steps one by one
and student you can see what you are
doing
[Music]
it's really easy to use writing drawing
tools with this technology according to
not taking software you are using you
can easily access markers in all colors
highlighting notes and draw shapes I
know some teachers they do not like
drawing they struggle with drawing
shapes and graphs all not liking
software have the shapes ribbon you just
choose it and then drove it so let's say
you want to draw a rectangle a circle
this is one that is too so it's really
easy to use this technology it's really
easy to highlight notes for example you
want to emphasize this part and you can
underline it you can highlight with
different colors so there are a lot of
colors here you can choose and you see
all tools are here and it's really easy
to use those tools with this technology
example let me just show you in
Microsoft OneNote
so you see all markers and all
highlighters at the top you can just use
it and let's say you want to draw shapes
there's a shape ribbon right here and
there are some limited shapes here if
you want to if you want to draw a shape
which is not in the menu we can use the
features like into shape for example you
want to draw a right triangle look at
this
[Music]
you can also discover artists within you
when students copy my notes and I weight
them I like to draw something on the
world I like doing some graffiti let's
say here I want to write
[Music]
something like that do you like it
[Music]
this actually is not about graphic
tablets you have these features for all
tech devices however these tablets have
short key buttons and you can easily use
technological features like copying
pasting moving zooming undoing and
redoing so for example you have some
buttons on the pan under some touch
activated key buttons here and most of
the tablets have it you can use those
features and these are really cool I
think the most important one is zooming
if your students cannot see what you are
writing and it cannot see clearly they
have small devices small screens so you
can zoom in to your notes and they can
easily see what you're writing they can
easily see the question you're working
on it works great when you have students
with focusing issues let's say I'm
solving there's questions for the 5/8 of
nine so look at this Izu min and scroll
up so the same students they only see
this problem so when I saw when I write
my steps they can see it clearly right
so look at this you can zoom in make
your board size big question and they
will focus on what you are doing believe
me it works great
one of the best features of note-taking
software is saving lesson notes as PDF
files you can take notes by using
graphic tablets and then save them as
PDF files and then keep it for the next
semester you can also share with your
students with your parents I will show
you my notes so look at these notes
I have lesson notes and then solutions
for example this PDF file have the
solutions of my handouts look at this
everything is saved everything is ready
so I can use this whenever I want
sometimes my students meets some
lectures and ask for nose and I emailed
them easily all your files will be
organizing a folder and I like keeping
things organized so if you want to teach
like all of your lessons by using these
tablets it is better to create handouts
in Microsoft Word and save them as PDF
files it takes time but after you
created them you can use them forever
[Music]
when you compare this technology with
other education technologies we can say
that terrific tablets are affordable you
can have great tablets with as low as
$30 on Amazon or other websites like
Aliexpress if you play around 60 to 70
dollars we can get something really good
like that by the way you can click the
link above see the tutorial video for
this tablet
there are also some tablets with 200
$300
you can also buy those if you have a
budget for it but I do not recommend it
and because those are usually for
designers
I use graphic tablets for two years in a
regular physical classroom not in online
classroom because I did not have a smart
board so it's not a tool for only online
teaching after the pandemic you can also
use it in a regular classroom with a
video projector if you don't have a
smart board in your classroom you can
connect to connect this one to your
computer and then project your screen
use it as a smart board it works great
and I did it for two years and I will
also do it a third pandemic okay let's
talk about some negative parts
it is little awkward when you just first
start to use it your writing may look
like a 5 years old but it's going to
take a little bit of practice it always
takes time to adjust to the new
technologies some people think that
tablet should show what you're right
there's some tablets come with the
screen but most of them do not have a
screen you don't see what you're writing
so you are writing down here and you're
watching what you are writing on
computer screen you need to you need to
look at your computer screen to see what
you're writing actually it looks like
mouse and keyboard so when I use my
mouse or keyboard I usually do not look
at them right I look at the screen so it
works the same so most people get used
to this tablet in two or three days so
it needs time to get used to this
technology
[Music]
this part getting used to the tablet
some teachers have really bad
handwriting if bad handwriting combines
with this technology it can get messy
however if you're a teacher it doesn't
matter you are writing on a tablet or on
a board right you need a clear and
brightest
[Music]
as a most common input problem in every
technology legging may happen if you
have an old computer or if you run a lot
of programs in the background or if your
internet connection is not good
unfortunately not taking software works
slowly and the pant legs if you do not
have any of those problems but the pen
is still lagging try using different
software it will probably solve your
problem you may also experience other
technological problems but we cannot
discuss all of them here
unfortunately stylist the pan is weak if
you drop it really hard you may need to
order a new one
I dropped it once and broke the pan
actually not the pan but there is
something inside I don't really know
what it is this is the thing if you know
the name please comment below it was
broken when I open the stylist it is
what you will see when you drop the pan
really hard thanks God they are selling
the pan separately and you can alter the
pan is new but my tablet is more than 2
years old there might be more advantages
and disadvantage of this technology but
these are the ones I realized if you
want to add something to my list please
comment below and let us know you can
also request topics for me to record
videos about I will try to help as much
as possible keep watching my videos
goodbye
you
[Music]
