kalanamak Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm sick of lap boards and scribbling on everything esp. for math. I was thinking of the larger boogie board. I only have one to educate and I sit next to him. All the examples I see on YouTube are people drawing or writing LARGE letters. What about something more like our Mr. Khan does on his videos? Would a boogie board work for that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Okay, I sprang for the larger tablet (not the kind you can "rip"), and I LOVE it. I can write very small and neatly. I can write fast and neatly. It is rather like writing with a nice fountain pen. You can make your spheres three dimensional by shading, etc. etc. It is not back lit, so you need a room with decent light. The larger tablet has easily replaced batteries (AAAAx 2). I wouldn't want the smaller one for anything but doodling, but you can write a three sentence dictation on this one. You can do a multiplication problem making the ones, tens, and hundreds in varying shades (not colors like Khan) to keep them apart, by pressing harder on the tens than the ones, and so on. If you are sick of dry erase dust and wet erase rags, give this a consideration. I was afraid it would "feel" unpleasant to write on, and it is actually nicer than pencil and paper! Woo hoo.

kalanamak Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-Paperless-Writing-Tablet/dp/B0056B131I/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322324316&sr=1-3 There is also a smaller one, and now one, not at Amazon, you can "save" what you write to a computer. I think it might be called a Rip Board. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Does anyone use a boogie board for schoolwork? I was wondering how something like this Boogie Board could be useful to homeschool. PE anyone? Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&M Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yup! That's what I was thinking too! I must be getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I was wondering how something like this Boogie Board could be useful to homeschool. PE anyone? Regards, Kareni That is the first thing that came to my mind, and I couldn't figure out how that would be useful for homeschooling. I blame it on the fact that I live in Southern California. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
