Tablet PCs - TwTT

Next week – November 4th
TabletPCs - Professor/Student Collaboration with Digital Ink
Faculty members frequently express interest in being able to annotate lecture notes whether they are Word, PDF, PowerPoint or image documents. Many also want to increase in-class student participation and discussion. Themba Flowers, manager in the Educational Technology Group, will discuss using TabletPCs to accomplish both of these goals while at the same time eliminating undesired competition for attention from email, web-browsing, etc.

The basis for this talk will be a Yale Economics class taught by Professor Donald Brown, Philip R Allen Professor of Economics. We will go over how classroom management software along with the interactivity of the TabletPC provides an opportunity, as Professor Brown put it, “to send all of the students to the blackboard at the same time.”

This session will showcase the Collaborative Learning Center’s recently purchased TabletPCs and collaborative software.
