Well, firstly, here's a picture of one:

What you do is plug this, or one like it, into the USB port in your computer and the pen will act like a mouse. When you hover over it, it is like moving the mouse and when you place the mouse on the tablet, it is like clicking. So drawing on it = click+drag.

It's incredibly useful - by using a pen, you can more accurately draw than what you would do with a mouse. Plus, it is pressure sensitive, and some of them even tilt sensitive.

One of the greatest tools I have ever used... and I've only had mine for about 2 weeks!

You can get your mom/dad to buy it for you, or do like I did, where I paid half, and they paid half...:)
