Many of the classrooms on campus have access to a digital pen that can write on the screen. This is extremely useful during a class when you would like to draw or label a diagram, or if you are filling in the blanks in real time with your learners. You can also make use of these computers if you are teaching an online class or creating a video by checking the classroom schedule and then scheduling to record your zoom in that space. Check with your IT specialist in your college for more information about these.
