![]() ![]() Don’t forget that you can use Chrome Canvas, Google Keep, and Jamboard as well just to name a few others! You’ll also get 3 free months of complimentary access to each of them when you register your tablet and get a Wacom ID (offer valid until November 30, 2021). In order to promote the tablet’s use for handwriting notes, solving math problems and scientific equations, quickly sketching or marking up documents, and brainstorming with whiteboards, along with other STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics), Wacom has partnered with five of the top educational software applications which all provide powerful tools for collaboration and learning – Collaboard, Explain Everything, Kami, Limnu, and Pear Deck. Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom’s Branded Business Compatible software The new compatibility with Wacom pen tablets and displays will make creating, working, and teaching digitally as natural and intuitive as possible and offer users more possibilities to work with their Chromebook. “As a pioneer of digital pen technology, Wacom is committed to providing teachers, students, and administrators with reliable, sustainable, and easy to use solutions. “Digitalization has great benefits for the education sector. ![]() The One by Wacom should primarily be seen as a tool for teachers and students, and perhaps even beginning artists, and not as much for creative professionals for now – more on that later. That’s why Wacom’s focus with this match made in heaven is on the education sector, at least for the time being. As more students and teachers transition to online education faster than they had anticipated doing so thanks to the pandemic, the challenge has been to bridge the gap between physical and digital mediums, especially while communicating with one another over long distances rather than in person.Ĭhromebooks and Wacom devices have always broken down barriers to education separately, so it makes perfect sense that they begin doing so together. Wacom is stepping into the Chromebook market and providing one of its products at a vital time in history. With that amount, you’ll feel like you’re drawing on paper and there will be plenty of natural and fluid variation in your line thickness and pressure. ![]() I should also mention that the pen has 2048 pressure levels, which is the most you’ll ever care about if you fit Wacom’s target audience for this device, despite what anyone else would have you believe. The upper right button can be used as a right-click too, though the other button on the pen doesn’t do anything at this time. If you have a USI stylus for your Chromebook, the included Wacom stylus, which weighs 9g, uses battery-free EMR technology and won’t interfere with it because it works solely on the tablet’s surface, not on your screen. However, today’s news changes that entirely – I am pleased to announce that Wacom, the leader in creative pen technology and the most popular brand in its space, now officially offers a graphics tablet that is fully compatible with Chromebooks and has even received the Works with Chromebook certification! The “ One by Wacom” – not to be confused with the “Wacom One” – can now be connected to Chromebooks running at least OS 87 and kernel version 4.4+ in order to extend their digital input functionality – that means that over 60 Chromebooks can use this little guy right out of the box! ![]() What exactly is a graphics tablet? Introducing the One by Wacom Instead, artists would need to purchase a Chromebook that had a touchscreen and the ability to connect a USI stylus in order to get creative or take notes directly on its display.Ī graphics tablet is an input device consisting of a flat, pressure-sensitive pad that the user draws on or points at with a special stylus, to guide a pointer displayed on the screen. If you recall in my article titled ‘ The artist’s guide to sketching and drawing on a Chromebook‘, I drove home the point that Wacom’s graphics tablets weren’t able to be used with Chromebooks due to their reliance on software drivers which were only compatible with Windows and macOS. ![]()
