Digital inking spurs creative thinking

Completed

Pen-enabled devices allow learners to experience the power of digital inking, technology that enables handwriting in a natural form.

When learners use pen-enabled devices and digital ink-friendly programs such as OneNote, Whiteboard, or PowerPoint, they experience how the natural feel of pen and paper meets the power of digital ink. Inking increases creativity by stimulating ideation and creation in the following ways:

  • Whiteboard helps learners collaborate in real-time together.
  • OneNote brings ink and edit text together on a rich canvas.
  • PowerPoint helps with annotating presentations or using ink to tell a story with Ink Replay.

Digital Inking lets educators and learners create in more natural ways, harnessing thoughts digitally to move their ideas from mere visions to reality.
