Yoana Simeonova, a software designer working in Bulgaria, introduced Wacom Intuos in a school to make children's IT classes more fun.
They were very excited. Their eyes gleamed when they saw the new tools. They immediately started drawing with the pen tablets. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and some of them still wanted to continue drawing. Though they were familiar with touch panel tablets, they were unaware of tablets that could be drawn on with a pen. They were amazed by how the lines they drew on the tablet were displayed on the PC screen in real time. Surprised, they said, "It's like magic!".
We received words of gratitude. The principal knew about Wacom products, as he was in charge of technology innovations at the school. When I asked him about introducing Wacom Intuos, he welcomed it. Many of the teachers had never used pen tablets before, but they seemed to able to use them intuitively after just a simple lecture. Plans were to use the pen tablets in the 2nd grade IT class, but ideas have spread among teachers, such as using them in drawing classes and in other grades as well.
Big changes are not apparent at this time. I hope pen tablets will be used in new class plans in the near future. For now, I just want the children to enjoy free use of the pen tablets.
Children are intrinsically creative and love creating things. They used Wacom Intuos intuitively as well. I believe that our products have the potential to promote children's IT education and creativity. I haven't thought about the next specific idea yet, but I hope to develop new drawing apps for children with the team someday. I would like to design and develop apps that are easy for children to use.
