Additionally, they can send drawings or photos through a drawing or DSi Camera board and have these display on a teacher's PC.

Sometime later, Sharp System Products was offered to help with the development of applications.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/kg3j/vol1/index3.html Touch de Oboeru Hyakuninisshu: Chotto DSi Shiguredono (Nintendo)] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101120030211/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/kg3j/vol1/index3.html (Archive)]</ref>
