I wrote about using a writing tablet in math class a while back.  Now I am taking it to the next level.  I got a grant for a bunch of Interwrite wireless writing tablets for the math department at my school.  The money doesn’t come in until June but I was able to get one early on loan.  According to UPS tracking it should be at the school sometime tomorrow.  I’m trying to set some time aside so I can implement it soon. 

I picture myself running a PowerPoint with some notes and then writing out math problems from the back of the class.  I’ll probably have a bunch of practice problems for the class to work on.  I’ll walk around and plop the tablet down on someones desk so they can do the problem with the whole class watching.  In algebra we are factoring so I’m sure it will be nice to see how the students work out the problems themselves.  It will also be nice for everyone to see other people make common mistakes.  All work will be saved as pdf’s and uploaded to our website. 

I can’t wait!
