    A Tablet PC is a unique type of computer that allows the user to "ink" his or her input - words, sketches, diagrams and even math and science notations - and have them saved digitally. It can offer teachers new solutions for teaching and engage students so they are excited about coming to class - or doing fieldwork - and learning. The key to innovation is in their flexibility and mobility. This eBook provides information about them and classroom examples that show how they are taking educational computing far beyond the capabilities of the conventional notebook and where they are making a difference in teaching and learning. We hope you will enjoy reading about this exciting new technology.

    Why should I purchase my tablet through Rocky Hill when I might find a less expensive machine through another source (a bricks and mortar or Internet retail store, for example)?\n\nWe strongly recommend that families purchase the tablet through the school's laptop purchase program. Classroom instruction using technology is more effective when all students work with the same tools; consistency and compatibility reduce the possibility of confusion and wasted class time. While it may seem that a comparable tablet could be purchased at a lower price on the outside, families should remember that laptops purchased through RHS come with features and services that are not always included in the laptop packages offered at retail stores. Purchasing these items separately almost always results in a higher total cost. The RHS tablets are bundled with software needed to operate in the RHS environment, at a savings not available through retail outlets. The customized configuration that is loaded on each tablet makes the transition from the shipping box to the classroom almost seamless. Additionally, we provide significant value-added services in the area of maintenance and support with the goal of minimizing down time should a problem arise; a laptop from our loaner pool is always available to students who purchase their laptop through RHS.\n\n

  • To view a list of useful keyboard shortcuts that make accessing OneNote tools, commands, and dialog boxes faster and easier, click Keyboard Shortcuts on the Help menu.
  • If copying and pasting text and graphics from a Web page to a page in your notebook doesn't seem to properly retain the formatting, try capturing the information in a screen clipping instead. On the Insert menu, click Screen Clipping, and then drag the pointer to create a rectangular selection around the content on your screen that you want to capture.
  • To see when a block of notes was last written or updated, right-click the paragraph handle preceding the text in any note container. The last two items on the shortcut menu will show you when the text was created or updated, and by whom.
  • To move an item, such as a block of text or a picture, so that it appears over or under another item on the page, hold down ALT while moving the item.
  • Before sharing your notes, check for spelling mistakes. Press F7 to open the Spelling task pane and start the spell check. If the task pane is already open, click Start Spell Check.
  • You can easily modify the templates that are included with OneNote and create a custom design of your own. Start by applying an existing template to a new, blank page, and then add or change anything you like. On the Format menu, click Templates. In the Templates task pane, click Save current page as a template.

  • Use different colors to identify participants in a live sharing session. Ask each person to use a specific pen or font color when he or she adds notes to the shared page. For example, you can type your notes in blue text and use a blue pen to mark up a diagram. Another person can use green text or a green pen. Add a list of names and corresponding text colors at the top of the shared note page so that session participants know who is typing or writing.
  • Use OneNote to help you study for an exam. If you take notes by using an outline format, collapse your outline down to the highest level of information, and then quiz yourself about the details hidden in the collapsed levels. To work with outlines, turn on the Outlining toolbar. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Outlining.
  • To quickly open a side note, even when OneNote isn't open, press the Windows logo key+N.
  • To help you line up items on your pages (for example, note containers or pictures), OneNote automatically snaps the items to an invisible grid as you move and reposition them. To temporarily disable the grid, hold down ALT while you move an item on the current page. To permanently turn the page grid option on or off, click the Snap To Grid command on the Edit menu.
  • If you use OneNote on a portable computer or a Tablet PC, you can optimize the amount of battery power that OneNote consumes. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Other, and then select the Optimize for the following battery life option that you want.

  • While traditional laptops are great for textual content, they don’t allow free-hand input of content.
  • For example, practicing cursive handwriting, drawing graphs, annotating maps, sketching molecules, highlighting texts, and diagramming sentences can fluidly occur when using a pen.
  • However, the real educational power of a Tablet PC is leveraged by software systems that exploit the power of the pen.

  • Paying a little more up front can increase the overall usefulness of the hardware investment.
  • While the process of moving from laptops to Tablet PCs varies from school to school, most implementations start by providing Tablet PCs to teachers. After the teachers have had a few months to get used to the new devices, Tablet PCs are provided to students as well.

    Tablet PC's are growing in popularity for teaching and learning. But why would a school start a one-to-one program with tablets or scrap a laptop program for this more costly hardware?
