Jim Vanides says why he thinks educators should care about using Tablet PCs in education. He says teachers can tell what individual students are doing, makes electronic textbooks more reasonable, and it’s a good teaching platform. He offers a brief, good read. Thanks, Jim. Keep it up.
While I monitor Jim’s site, I missed this post until I found it on the new The Counter. Another good idea, similar to a digest for links to Tablet PC and UMPC articles readers appreciate. It’s worth monitoring, Teachers, for useful ideas ranging from hardware and software to other education tools.
