Smile Pen tablets good for distance learners
Did you know that if you have a desktop or notebook PC running Windows Vista Premium SKU that you can still have Tablet features? Plug in a digitizer, such as one made by Wacom, and Tablet features will be available to you. It's a fairly inexpensive way to benefit even more from your PC!

I think this is particularly interesting in distance learning situations. Check out what Sylvan Online is doing with digitizers (also known as "pen tablets" or "graphing tablets") to help with distance tutoring: http://qual.esylvan.com/General/ForKids.aspxhttp://qual.esylvan.com/General/ForKids.aspxhttp://qual.esylvan.com/General/ForKids.aspxhttp://qual.esylvan.com/General/ForKids.aspxhttp://qual.esylvan.com/General/ForKids.aspx. Click video.

This video is a great demonstration on what can be possible. Tutors can watch a student solve a math problem just like the student would on paper.

Now, to take it a step further and make sure all these distance learning apps are using the Windows SDK or Tablet SDK to truly show off Tablet & Touch technologies.
