Primary Function
Allows you to make your computer a canvas. By using the pen on the tablet you can touch up digital photos, draw by hand and write on the computer in your own handwriting.

Training
No training is needed. It comes with computer software that has step by step instructions.

Justification
Well worth the cost to use with students who have trouble communicating with words. The students can draw at the computer while others are typing. If using a pen and orkeyboard if a issue, the students can use hand gestures instead.

First Hand Impression
I like this product. The pad is big enough to draw on but yet small enough to easy fit on a lap or computer desk. The pen holder is key to me. It helps keep track of a tool that could be easly lost by students.
