Wacom Bamboo Tablet enables Teacher to draw characters for class
- We set up one of the Wacom Tablets which we have used for Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja practice in our student group rooms, at the LRC teacher station. Benefit:
- drawing characters where typing (including with IMEs) is not a satisfactory option. This includes
- IPA
- I noticed phonetics teachers making heavy use of the whiteboard and document camera/projector to transcribe.
- We tested a Phonetics keyboard, but remembering your keyboard shortcuts has a learning curve;
- Besides, the keyboard is currently not user-switchable.
- stroke-order demonstration for East-Asian languages.
- IPA
- Unlike the document camera, the Wacom could be set up at the teacher station – no need to move to the other end of the room, and works without need for the video switch we consider replacing.
- To use, you can
- e.g. start MS-paint (click start-button, “Run”, type “mspaint”, click “OK”)),
- select the “pencil” menu icon to the right of the center here:
, - remove the pen from pouch on the side of the wacom tablet next to the keyboard,
- draw digitally with the pen tip (soft),
- select the “eraser”menu icon to the right of the center here:
- turn the pen and rub to digitally erase (or “select all”and press the “del” key),
- finally save the drawing, if you want to reuse it or share it with students (e.g. using the Sanako playlist ).
- To change settings, go to the control panel (click start-button, “Run”, type “control”, click “OK”and start the Wacom Bamboo Control Panel Applet,
- if you do not like the Wacom tablet input panel being set to represent the entire left screen that is visible to students on the projector.
- if you are not right-handed,
- etc.
- drawing characters where typing (including with IMEs) is not a satisfactory option. This includes
