  • “With the tablet computing initiative, we want to develop or identify early adopters of this technology, to ‘plant the seeds’ of innovation and, eventually, mainstream this and future technologies into our school and teaching,”
  •  
    ""Technology is central to how we learn and how we communicate," Florence said. "This is an initiative to allow faculty to experiment with how tablet computers can help improve and expand their teaching.""

    Following the launch of the iPad last spring, many schools made headlines by announcing their plans to distribute the devices to teachers and students and to incorporate the iPad into coursework. Now that the fall term is over, several of those schools are reporting on what was, for many, the first full semester using iPads in the classroom. So does the iPad make the grade? If so, will it usher in a new wave of educational tablets as some analysts are predicting?

  • For me, the Surface is a "Wordbook", a new device form-factor for running Word in ultra-portable, cloud-connected mode that also happens to be one degree away from a market ready post-PC tablet.
  • Does the market actually want a device that runs Office first, and does all the other tablet tasks second? Hardly.
  •  
    "Now that I actually own an Surface, it's clear to me what it's about. Spoiler: it's not an iPad."

We now have access to great tools such as Evernote, Dropbox, and Google's suite of applications, which means that stuff you care about can accessible to you on almost any device and location; on your phone, tablet, and desktop, at home, at the office, and on the move. Yet paper survives."
