Teaching with Netbooks

Would be a great way to submit audio recordings to teachers

Potentially cool tool to use on netbooks

Not sure there would be enough apps to make this classroom-viable.

Great comparison of netbook to iPod Touch for classroom use.

If I were given the choice in what kind of devices to get for my classroom, it would be an easy one. Since I'd want my students to blog, contribute to a wiki, create podcasts, and edit video, my choice would have to be netbooks. But, I'd want netbooks with plenty of memory and a larger screen. The current netbooks that are priced similarly to the iPod touch are underpowered and their 7 inch screen makes them annoying to use.

Student Response Network (SRN) is a powerful "virtual Clicker" student response system designed for use in school computer labs or with wireless laptop groups. It does away with the need for personal handheld "clicker" devices by providing a software-only solution for use with networked Windows desktops or laptops.

Drag words onto photographs to describe the scene or mood.

Good interactive sites for netbooks

Dabbleboard is a powerful digital whiteboard that's actually easy and fun to use. With a revolutionary new interface, Dabbleboard gets out of your way and just lets you draw.

Would be great collaborative tool in netbook classroom

Tons of websites that would rock on netbooks - especially w/touch; very interactives

Welcome to The Renaissance Connection, the Allentown Art Museum's interactive educational web site. With the simple click of a mouse button, travel 500 years into the past to discover many Renaissance innovations revealed through the Allentown Art Museum's Samuel H. Kress Collection of European art.

Would be great on a netbook as a resource for a Renaissance unit. Kids will need headphones or you'll lose it in 10 minutes! Very engaging.
