Hi everyone,

I have a four-year-old MacBook Pro. I am looking for a tablet to use to grade student assignments, as I will be out of town for several courses (I teach at a university). The assignments will require me to write on scanned-in student work in pdf format. Can I do this on a tablet?

I should emphasize that as long as both I and the student can read what is going on, I don't need to worry about beautiful graphics. I just need to communicate.

I have never used a tablet. Will my plan work? Can students just scan stuff to me and I can write on it and send it back? Or do they need to have tablets as well?

I do have a mid-range budget--up to $1000, but I also need to use that for other things. So cheaper is definitely better.

Any thoughts?
