Tech Question: Interwrite Slate or Tablet?

by Daniel Hanson

Aug 24, 2012

Hello, everyone!

In an effort to increase my mobility as a teacher in the classroom, I am considering whether to obtain an Interwrite Slate 100 or an iPad or Tablet. Which do you think will be better? Here are some of my needs: mobility (obviously), click through PPT as well as select items on PPTs, I would like the ability to write on the screen if necessary, would like something I could get used but good quality since I am purchasing this item with my own funds. In talking to the head of the Math department at my school, he prefers the Interwrite Slate because it’s great for writing on SmartBoards, stating that using a Tablet or iPad with the Splashtop 2 app wouldn’t be as effective if I or the students were going to write something on the screen. What are your thoughts?

Also, please, if you have any suggestions of where to find these products cheap and in good condition, I’d appreciate it. All I’ve been looking on so far is e-Bay.

Thanks! Daniel Ha...See More
