Rob Bushway and friends offer a long list of InkShows about mobile PCs, like the ones a growing number of students, teachers and administrators use in classrooms and at home.
Probably we’ve all heard about educators and students using mobile PCs in schools. Learning to use a Tablet PC, Ultra-Mobile PC, or another mobile PC in school is like learning to read: you gotta follow a few specific rules.
Rob’s people show you how to go beyond those rules.
InkShows include introductions as well as reviews of hardware and software in text, images, podcasts, and videos.
Of the many such offerings across the web, InkShows offer teachers easily accessible, authoritative, informed introductions by mainstream techies with interests similar to many teachers, including teaching and learning. They’re master learners. They work, get tired, have responsibilities beyond tech, etc.
These people are sympathetic mobile PC tech evangelists. Microsoft Corporation includes Rob and Warren as Microsoft Valuable Professionals. That means they get up to date info. In turn, they offer credible tips to users.
As bonuses, you can ask Qs on their blog without worrying about someone slamming you for not know any answer, don’t have to drive to a class, pay tuition, or spend time reading things someone has assigned.
And, you will learn more about the vocabulary, logic, and mobile PC equipment some tout as the next best thing for learning since the printing press and telephone! (Does that stretch hype too much?)
