Tablet computers are the best choice for a device that a teacher can use to write notes while walking around the classroom as they can be easily carried and used anywhere in the classroom. Additionally, many tablet computers are equipped with handwriting recognition capabilities that can convert handwritten notes to digital text if necessary. Workstations and mainframes are stationary computers that would not be suitable for this purpose as they cannot be easily moved around the classroom, and laptops are larger and heavier than tablet computers, making them less portable.
