The ability to link the instructor and student devices,
and to send information back and forth provides a mechanism for
introducing active learning into the classroom and creates additional
feedback channels.
The multimodal nature of the tablet may contribute to a greater level of use of resources as there is no division between note-taking, accessing internet resources, using productivity tools, and using educational software.
I was feeling the same yesterday as I shared my bookmarks. My tags make sense to me, but do they to others?
For this list, the general tag "tablets" is pretty generic. Maybe we could have some more specific links, like: "tablet_software" or "tablet_tools" -- software/widgets to support tablet computing "tablet_tricks" or "tablet_techniques" -- tips/tricks/techniques for tablet use "tablet_research" -- research about using tablets in the classroom or to support learning "tablet_support" -- repair, fixes, etc "tablet_hardware" -- brands, hardware info "tablet_schools" -- schools using tablets "tablet_tutorials" -- tutorials about tablet use "tablet_students" -- info for/about kids using tablets "tablet_curriculum" -- lesson plans / curriculum specific to tablets "tablet_interactives" -- interactive websites especially effective with tablets "tablet_talk" -- general discussions about the use of tablets "tablet_advantages" -- advantages available with tablets not available with traditional computing
Just a thought... Other suggestions? I'd be happy to revise my tags if these make sense to others.
I just took some time to update tags on the bookmarks I've posted thus far. I tried to stick to a more specific tagging vocabulary, pretty close to my last post. I hope this works for everyone.
I've played with it a bit. It will take some time to get used to the interface, but it does seem more tablet-friendly. I can't see me switching from OneNote, however. I love the shared notebook capabilities. We're using them pretty heavily in my school, now that we have some of the network bugs worked out.
