The full title should have been "Eleven Reasons Why a Tablet PC + Digital Projector is Better Than a Whiteboard or Overhead Projector… and Sometimes Smarter Than a Smartboard". My primary point is this: People are still "discovering" what a Tablet PC can do. Once educators realize that they do everything a laptop does PLUS you can draw in the screen, then the next obvious question becomes, "How does this help me in class?" I have some practical examples to share...
I love this online tool. Bunch a set of links together into one url and share the link to view the sites. Switch between the sites using the convenient bar at the top of the screen. Great for making sets of resources.
In Windows 7 (currently in beta), Problem Steps Recorder is a new feature that will record each and every step a user takes and document the entire operation in both screen captures and step-by-step details. It will save the resulting capture in a ZIP file allowing the user to easily send it by e-mail or file share to a support professional. In this article, MVP Daniel Petri will walk you through using this cool tool.
Naming takes on new meanings in digital settings-as students build personas through e-mail addresses, screen names, and online profiles, they can be unaware of the ways that others may read the information they share.
A great site for collaborating online. Work on documents together in real time, video chat and share your screen with others are just a few features that make this a great site for tutoring, meetings and webinars.

Critics counter that, absent clear proof, schools are being motivated by a blind faith in technology and an overemphasis on digital skills — like using PowerPoint and multimedia tools — at the expense of math, reading and writing fundamentals. They say the technology advocates have it backward when they press to upgrade first and ask questions later.
Again, this is very different than how TEACHERS are innovating their PRACTICES. It's much more challenging than making a slick brochure that communicates how much technology your district has.
And what is that "something"? New technology? If so, you missed the boat.
it is hard to separate the effect of the laptops from the effect of the teacher training
The high-level analyses that sum up these various studies, not surprisingly, give researchers pause about whether big investments in technology make sense.
Why does the argument for making schools relevant and using current cultural tools need to be backed with performance data? Give politicians and superintendents horses instead of cars and see how long that lasts.
Good teachers, he said, can make good use of computers, while bad teachers won’t, and they and their students could wind up becoming distracted by the technology.
“Test scores are the same, but look at all the other things students are doing: learning to use the Internet to research, learning to organize their work, learning to use professional writing tools, learning to collaborate with others.”
Exactly. But somehow, "value" has been equated with test scores alone. Do we have a strong body of research on pencil effectiveness or clay effectiveness or chair effectiveness?
“It’s not the stuff that counts — it’s what you do with it that matters.”
“There is a connection between the physical hand on the paper and the words on the page,” she said. “It’s intimate.”
“They’re inundated with 24/7 media, so they expect it,”
And you expect them to always engage enthusiastically with tools that are no longer relevant in their culture?
The 30 students in the classroom held wireless clickers into which they punched their answers. Seconds later, a pie chart appeared on the screen: 23 percent answered “True,” 70 percent “False,” and 6 percent didn’t know.
Computers don't really "instruct". That's why we have teachers who are supposed to know what they are doing and why they are doing it... and monitoring kids while keeping learning meaningful.
Are they in love with Cuban or something? Perhaps they should actually look at the research... or interview other authorities. Isn't that what reporting is all about? I think this reporter must be a product of too much Google, right?
But she loves the fact that her two children, a fourth-grader and first-grader, are learning technology, including PowerPoint
Again, the fact that any supporter is happy that their kids are learning PowerPoint illustrates the degree of naiveté in their understanding of technology's role in learning.
creating an impetus to rethink education entirely
Mr. Share bases his buying decisions on two main factors: what his teachers tell him they need, and his experience. For instance, he said he resisted getting the interactive whiteboards sold as Smart Boards until, one day in 2008, he saw a teacher trying to mimic the product with a jury-rigged projector setup.
“It was an ‘Aha!’ moment,” he said, leading him to buy Smart Boards, made by a company called Smart Technologies.
Herein lies another huge problem. Mr. Director of Technology seems to base no decisions on what the learning and technology literature have to say... nor does he consult those who would be considered authorities on technology infused learning (emphasis on learning here)
An iPad app which allows a teacher to set work remotely on the students' devices, including with recorded audio instructions.
