2008

Abstract

Despite the many advantages of computer-aided instruction, standard notebook computers are restricted by their keyboard and mouse inputs. Not so with tablet PCs. Using the tablet PC--basically a notebook computer with an interactive screen--teachers and students can write, draw, and sketch directly onto any computer document, in real time, and at a fraction of the cost of hard copy documents.This book is a practical guide for educators who would like to use tablet PCs to instruct, communicate, and collaborate in the classroom.You ll be introduced to tablet PCs as a: * Powerful and portable computing device * Note-taking, sketching, writing, and collaborative learning tool * Presentation tool that far surpasses any other existing platform * Personal productivity tool for both you and your students You'll also find examples and case studies taken from real teachers in real classrooms, advice for implementing tablet PCs in your organization, and lesson plans designed specifically for tablet PC instruction.Also available: Visual Arts Units for All Levels - ISBN 1564842428 National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers: Second Edition - ISBN 1564842436
