In fact, earlier this year Microsoft introduced the Microsoft Classroom Pen, which was designed specifically for students using Surface Go (though it is compatible with other products). Microsoft's system-wide inking solution positions Surface Go to consistently provide opportunities for students to naturally interact with and create digital content through writing. Making that natural experience as much a part of the digital platforms students use is an important part of seamlessly integrating technology into education. Despite technology's influx in schools, it remains an integral part of a student's academic (and life) experience. Writing is a natural mechanism of human expression, as well as recording and sharing information. Students can write on Office documents, Edge webpages, emails in Microsoft's Mail app and more.

Thus, with its notepad-like dimensions Surface Go is a great digital notepad.Īdditionally, various combinations of clicks of the Surface Pen's eraser launches Windows Ink Workspace apps as well as apps like OneNote. Microsoft positioned inking as a first-class input modality alongside keyboard, touch, mouse, voice and gaze in Windows 10 and by extension Surface Go.

Though the iPad with its (eraser-less) Apple Pencil boasts digital inking, Microsoft's Windows Ink is more broadly integrated throughout the OS and other software.
