    Digital inking on Microsoft Surface for teachers and students Save teachers time and drive positive learning outcomes with Surface Pen and Microsoft Classroom Pen Microsoft Surface for K–12 education The write path to success Students in primary and secondary schools are in a critical stage of their development, building key life skills and gradually preparing for adulthood. In addition to learning the basics, they’re also gaining familiarity with technology that will aid their success in the working world.

Using digital ink, students retain information more effectively and express themselves more freely than they can with a keyboard alone.
