I have previously suggested the PTPen, although on testing the accuracy was not quite good enough to make it a perfect solution. I used to have a tablet PC that I loved but now need a new solution. I have used an Epson Brightlink projector, but the resolution of the pen was not good enough for writing in OneNote or Word using the inking pens available.
I have recently acquired a Wacom Bamboo CTH-470. I have also purchased a wireless module, so have the flexibility to be connected via USB cable or work within about 5-6m from my laptop. As long as you are looking at the projector screen, it becomes quite easy to write on the bamboo and see it come up on the projector. I was a little disappointed when I first got it out of the box that only part of the black area is actually active and usable - but I am now used to this. I rarely use the touch option and therefore the model without touch CTL-470 could be preferable for the cheaper price.
I bought it at Officeworks, but have also seen it at Harris Technology. (About $180 including the wireless module)c
Overall a great solution in the classroom and also writing up solutions.
Note: the CTH-670 is larger and has a larger writing area. I think this could be better, but have not used it myself walking around the classroom.
I have not investigated the professional intuous5 as they are more expensive and these consumer products suit my needs. If you've got any more questions, just ask in the comments.
Troubleshooting: occasionally the wireless drops out. If I unplug the wireless unit and plug it back in then I am back up and running in about 20 seconds.

Hi there, just wondering if you used either:

- MathType
with the Wacom Bamboo tablet and if so, what was your experience with it?
Thank you in advance
Sorry - I haven't tried handwriting recognition in a while. I have in the past, but I type faster than I write anyway.
ReplyDeleteAlso - Mathtype, I just use the traditional input, use shortcuts, as I can enter very quickly. Eg ctrl-g-q gives theta. Ctrl-u gives superscript.
