This morning I received an email from our school media specialist. It seems that I am on the list to get a new computer this year! This new computer has the 2007 version of powerpoint, which I've heard is quite a bit updated from the version I have. Hmmmm.... just when I could whip up a powerpoint in less than a minute.
The exciting thing is that this computer is also set up to have a wireless device called a tablet. And the best news of all is that our media specialist is also willing to train people on this device. No pay for the training, of course, but I'm excited to recieve any training at all. And yes, it will mean that I will have to be willing to get up early on a Saturday, drive the 35 miles to work, and sit in a computer lab for an entire morning.
I am soooo glad to have this class because it has taught me to be less fearful of technology. And I'm willing to embrace this opportunity and put it to good use. Now, what can I do with a tablet????

I dunno if there's anything useful here, but I chanced upon a blogsite that advertises itself as "The Tablet PC in Teaching & Learning:
ReplyDeleteA School Based Technology Specialist's Observations and Resources for Integrating the Tablet PC in the Classroom."
