Digitizing Tablet
A digitizing tablet is an input device that brings clarity to your virtual whiteboard feature

One of the most beneficial tools included in web
conferencing services is the interactive whiteboard feature.
This virtual whiteboard brings a standard on-site conference
room feature to your online meeting space and allows for the
freehand sketching out of ideas and brainstorming. However,
using a mouse to do this is not very easy and can make it
clarity a bit of an issue. Implementing a digitizing tablet
can clear up this problem.
Digitizing tablets are also known as digitizers and
graphics tablets. It's an input device for your computer --
just like your keyboard or mouse. However, instead of typing
words or moving a mouse, a digitizer lets you use a pen on a
tablet to draw out diagrams and write out ideas. Your words
and drawings will be much easier for your fellow
collaborators to discern with a graphics tablet, so you
won't have to stop the meeting to clarify what's on the
whiteboard.
The
graphics software section of About.com has several
recommendations of what you should look for when you choose
your digitizer. The pen on your digitizer should be
something that you can write naturally with. Additionally,
it's best to select a digitizer that has a USB connection so
you don't have to worry about finding another source to plug
your other devices into.
Wacom
is the most popular name in digitizers or graphics tablets.
Their tablets come in a variety of sizes -- the size you
choose depends on your comfort and the amount of space you
have for your digitizer.
Aiptek
is another trusted brand for these tools. About.com has a
list of the most popular models in digitizing devices that
help make your online whiteboard use clearer and easier.
