Pad Wireless Interactive Tablet - Review

Looking for a technology that can make the classroom more interactive and engaging for students? Look no further than the Pad Wireless Interactive Tablet from Virtual Ink.

As someone who has reviewed countless educational gadgets over the years, I was eager to try out the MimioPad tablet and see if it lived up to all the hype. First off, I appreciated that it was designed to work seamlessly alongside other Virtual Ink products, including the popular MimioTeach and Dymo classroom technologies.

The most impressive feature of the MimioPad is its ability to allow remote control of the computer desktop and interactive whiteboard. With a range of up to 30 feet, students can use the 16 shortcut keys to access common functions of MimioStudio classroom software and control their computer desktop from the comfort of their desk or group collaboration area.

Another highlight of the MimioPad is its convenient and eco-friendly battery-free stylus, which is tethered to the tablet and charges automatically. This means that students can use the stylus to draw or write in the MimioStudio software or control the computer desktop without worrying about running out of power mid-lesson.

I appreciated that the stylus also acts as a mouse, allowing students to navigate the computer desktop with ease. It also feels comfortable to hold and provides a smooth, accurate writing and drawing experience on the tablet surface.

While I found many features of the MimioPad to be impressive, I have to say that it's not without its flaws. The tablet's surface isn't as responsive as I would have liked, and it took a bit of practice to get used to the pressure sensitivity and how to use the stylus effectively.

Additionally, some customers have reported issues with connecting the tablet to their classroom technology or with the stylus not working properly after extended use. While I didn't experience these issues personally, it's something to keep in mind when considering purchasing the MimioPad.

Overall, the Pad Wireless Interactive Tablet from Virtual Ink is a great addition to any classroom that's looking for a way to make learning more engaging and interactive. With its range of features and seamless integration with other Virtual Ink products, this tablet is sure to become a go-to tool for teachers and students alike.

As for the customer reviews, the average 3.3 out of 5-stars rating based on 10 reviews suggests that it’s not perfect. However, most of the customers have still been happy with their purchase and found it to be a valuable tool for their classroom.

In conclusion, the MimioPad tablet is a great investment for educators looking to enhance their classroom experience with interactive technology. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it offers many useful features that make it worth considering for any teacher looking to provide an engaging and interactive learning environment for their students.
