Very few touchscreen Chromebooks include a digital pen or stylus, but that doesn't mean you can't add one!

The opportunity to use a pen to sketch, draw, annotate, and mark up documents adds tremendous value. 💯

I can't image teaching during the pandemic without a touchscreen Chromebook AND a digital pen. 😲

Do you need a capacitive pen? An EMR stylus? What about a rechargeable active stylus?

This video will review each of these options AND explain why the digital pen market for Chromebooks is about to get a LOT better!
