Best Way to Use Wacom Tablet for Online Teaching with PowerPoint [One by Wacom]

[@alex_x_x_6]

OMG thank you so much. I had to start using this tablet for a university math course and it was DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! You saved my life!

[@bio-logicalLifeSci]

I've just learned that during a presentation if you press "ctrl" + "P" you can change from cursor to pen quickly.

[@CdotForbes13]

so does that allow you to toggle back and forth from pen to cursor. I have a specific situation where I use the cursor a lot but want to be able to add in the pen instead of drawing with the mouse cursor. the pen needs to take the place of the mouse cursor for the drawing part.

[@bio-logicalLifeSci]

@@CdotForbes13 not on the same slide. So I press control +P and write then if i click the right arrow, it will move to the next slide (or animation) and toggle off from pen. (not sure if that helps)

[@sagarkatdare]

Thank you so much !

[@dilipsharma-hp7il]

Good explanation! Question - Why someone use this Wacom tablet when they already have the Microsoft surface touch screen laptop as shown in the video? 😊

[@ClassPoint]

With a Surface rt other Touch Screen device, you can just use a pen! Not everyone has access to a touchscreen device so we wanted to show how easy it can be

[@RandySFisher]

Love the setting portion - mapping screen with table, tip.

[@ClassPoint]

Thank you, Randy!

[@rrlideracademy]

Excellent video, thank you so much.

[@Eternal-Student]

I taught one-to-one on Zoom, daily, for almost a year, before biting the bullet and getting the Wacom tablet.I should have just done it a year ago. Thing is, I have an Apple Pencil (which is unbeatable in my opinion), but I prefer to use my laptop. Linking my iPad creates a third person in the meeting and we’re cut off at 40 minutes with free Zoom. Anyway, this works just great. No more writing maths with the finger pad on my laptop. It’s the perfect solution and at under £100, a must-have. I use it on the whiteboard, over PDF’s and PowerPoint. Love it!

[@ClassPoint]

The Apple Pencil is wonderful, but I'm glad you found a solution for when you can't use it! It makes all the difference, and a good price makes it even better. Enjoy!

Hi Michaela, you will need to record your screen with a screen recorder, and record yourself with a camera (camera in front of you, and green screen behind you). Now you have two videos, you just add these two videos in a video editor as two layers (make sure you are on the top layer). Camtasia is a good video editor for beginners.

Hi there, to use the tablet on any application, the application must have annotation tools built-in. For example, PowerPoint supports annotations but Teams does not. So you will not be able to annotate on the Teams interface. If the app doesn't have those tools, you can try downloading software that allows you to annotate over any window, page, or application.

Once we annotate using this pen during the presentation, how to remove it? I tried control-Z but it's not working. Pressing an escape button and discarding the changes is not an effective option. Please suggest. Thank you.

Hi Sagar, we suggest taking a look at your pen settings in the Wacom Driver. You can adjust the buttons on your pen to undo or to be an eraser. This should help you remove annotations more efficiently.
