The High Tech Classroom

- Rob Bushway

We all know that Tablet PC technology really shines when implemented in schools. Bishop Hartley High School, one of the very first schools to implement Tablet PC technology, was recently featured in this story confirming the learning advantages that Tablet PC technology offers:

Research shows most students like the benefits. "Instead of carrying around a big old math book and a big English book in between periods, you just carry your tablet around," says senior Lindsay Brown. Human factors researchers immediately saw the learning advantages. The tablet PC's allow more interaction between the teachers and students. Teachers can embed live web pages and live video into lectures. "The richness that you can bring in when you've got a connection to the internet that you bring into class," says Carolyn Sommerich, Ph.D., a researcher at Ohio State University.

I like the extended battery life on my Fujitsu (two batteries gets me through the day just fine)
