This may be a crazy request: I want to use a tablet computer as a
Wacom drawing tablet so that the screen can be visualized on the
tablet computer.
See 4:40 in the video at

I didn't see anything special in the vicinity of 4:40.
The handwritten information was input using a Wacom Intuos drawing
tablet. A PC is running the PowerPoint and recording the video. *This
cannot change.* I struggle with writing on gray plastic while looking
at the screen. I would much prefer to see what I am writing where I am
writing it.
I assume the aforementioned PC is not a tablet PC, and
cannot be upgraded to a tablet PC. Otherwise, the objective
would be trivially achieved.
I have access to a Samsung Note 10.1 2014. Is there an app that
regularly receives a screen shot from the computer and displays that
on the tablet, and then upload the annotation from the tablet to the
computer?
It's possible. I have been known to use VNC for that sort
of thing.

In particular, to answer a question that wasn't asked,
this allows walking around the room with a portable tablet.
A wireless VNC link back to the "main" computer allows
the whole class to see what happening on the tablet.

Even though it is possible to use a tablet PC in place of
a graphics tablet, it is not necessarily a good idea.
Note that the digitizer on a tablet PC is typically very
much worse than the digitizer on a Wacom tablet. You lose
a lot of XY resolution, and all but one bit of Z (pressure)
resolution.
