TeacherTabletPC

Keenan Dungey, Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield, has presented on his use of the Tablet PC in class (PowerPoint slides, Google HTML conversion). Among the advantages he lists:

• PowerPoint can save the notes I made during the lecture, which I can then post to BlackBoard
• I can switch from PowerPoint to other computer applications for projecting during the lecture (animations, LoggerPro data collection, Web resources…)
• I can sit down with the students in a discussion circle instead of standing at the whiteboard
• I can switch to other computer applications for projecting during the lecture (animations, Web resources…)
• I can quickly evaluate how well the computer is capturing my notes and make corrections
