- Teaching online, in person or hybrid. A Drawing or writing tablet can come in handy when you need to demonstrate something or write. In this video I look at the XP PEN Star G640 and show how I use it in class.

I’m beyond thrilled to have found this tutorial Sethi! I’ll soon be teaching chemistry to online students and drawing on the “board” is an important part of my lessons. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful.
I gifted my maths teacher a G430 as Covid hit and I noticeably started struggling with his lessons. He used to scan his hand-written notes and explain that way, but we missed the step-by-step excercises (well, I did, somehow my classmates fared just fine). I gave it to him because I lost the drive to draw and play OSU with it, but now I'm looking into getting another one and the G640 seems right to me.
The main advantage is that without a screen and batteries, these drawing tablets are extremely thin, light and cheap. Not sure about the durability but it does feel solid and rigid in your hand.
XP pens have totally transformed how I teach. I have been lucky enough to have a class set of Chromebooks and XP Pen 7 Deco for my A level Physics classes, all notes and worksheets / exam questions are shared via google classroom (make a copy for each student) as .PDFs. I use a Kami teacher subscription to allow the students to answer directly on screen. I can monitor progress live in class as well as mark all submitted assignments later. All the work is exactly where I need it for assessment, as well as for the students for revision/review.
Brilliant! A perfect example of the using the right tools for the right task. I love the combination of a graphics tablet and Kami
Thanks! GoodNotes app is great for Mac to use with Tablets.
Hi, I work with microscopy images using ImageJ. Sometimes I need to use the mouse as a pen to make a line or select specific areas, which is annoying. Do you know if this device can work with this kind of software? Regards!
Great review! Very indept but still short and informative. I don't know if this is a regional thing, but my cable was significantly longer making it a lot more versatile. I thought I'd throw that here.
(I got it from the UK xp pen store)
I think it may have been changed since I got mine :-) Definitely a welcomed change :-)
Can this be connected to a tablet (with adapter of course), and will it work on a tablet like kindle.
Would you recommend the xp pen deco fun L over this?
Hello, and many thank for the video. I need a tablet for mathematical writing, do you think G640 might be OK or you suggest G690? I mean is not it small? Thank you.
Please, is this tablet G640 is better for teaching or deco fun xs xp pen (3×4 inch). I noticed that G640 is better for drawing or is it also good in writing or explaining grammer
it works on the smartphone in android sir?
can i use it to write in any pdf file
I got the XP Pen deco MW as my first ever tablet to use with MS Whiteboard (in Teams), but am very disappointed with the software driver support from XP Pen. Many bugs and limitations preventing proper programming of the pen and tablet buttons, many small hiccup, etc. Maybe a different whiteboard app is better supported?
I bought this tablet and downloaded the drivers. But, I am doing something wrong. When I try to use it, the signature or drawing ends up in a much larger scale than anticipated such that it is nearly impossible to draw a signature on a signature line because it would require such micro movements to create a mini-micro image on the tablet in order to translate as normal on the document. I am also a professor and would love to know what I am doing wrong so that my drawing is more controlled and less of a giant mess.
Is this compatible with windows 11?
Does it connect to android?
I just got one of these at goodwill for 6 bucks
no driver required?
Awesome. I can press stop and go or next page or is it one way connected
Not sure what you are asking about.
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials I add a lot of content example: im viewing city skyline and ill add to apartment Building. Would I have to press pause onscreen or on the xp
its kewl
Question: If I lose the pen, can it be purchased separately?
Yes. Definitely, the various stylus versions can be purchased separately and work with each other.
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials thank you - I appreciate your fast reply’s to questions! 👍🏻
You're welcome :-)
it's actually good for $30.
No cursor showing ?
Unfortunately it's listed as unavailable on Amazon for me.
Have a look at the updated version the g640s which should be in stock. I haven't tested this one myself, but it's a newer version of the one I use.
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials Fantastic, that's available and also quite affordable, thanks for your quick reply.
Hello sir. I am using pdf x change viewer to annotate my students' pdfs. It' s very exhausting when you have 30 students. I was wondering if I could use this stylus for greater comfort ?
Thank you,
A teacher from France
bro got ignored
How long does 1 nib lasts? if i only use for notemaking?
Mine is still working and I've used it since the start of the lockdowns which is over 2 years ago now

Thank you so much for replying!
Will this work for windows 11
Absolutely. :-)
