Re: wacom and other graphic tablets?

Hi,

I got several small tablets for my 7th graders and at first they
excited to use them but in a short while they put them back. The
students were more comfortable using a mouse. When I thought about it I
realized that they have grown up moving a mouse around. I'm glad I only
got a few.

Also, I spoke to a friend of mine who teaches HS and she too found that
most of the students prefer to use a mouse.

Harold

I will be trying again with my classes this year.
