Inking on Web Pages - Discussion

Elliot Kirk I am a teacher who teaches high school math.  I personally bought a Surface and talked my school into buying a Surface for me to teach with.  Textbook companies used to make PowerPoints to teach lessons with, but now every publisher is using some sort of Interactive web interface.  In my opinion, these are not the best tool for a teacher - just a good tool for the students.  However, with the capability to write on the webpage, it was tolerable.

Furthermore, having an inking tool to work well on pdf documents gives me the flexibility of creating my own lesson shells to use while teaching.  I can then write on the pdf in the spaces I created to show the mathematical steps in solving a problem.  I can save the pdf to share with students later.  Most importantly, by using my Surface and my Surface pen, I can have an interactive experience in teaching while walking around the room and still have a clean crisp experience with my Surface Pen and the document.  (What I'm saying is that with the Surface being a touch screen, third party apps don't always work smoothly with the pen and sometimes I get marks in several places on the screen that I touched with my hand or fingers.  It's annoying.

Microsoft Whiteboard is great for tutoring, but it is not something that works well for preparing lessons in advance or for sharing notes afterwards.
