Mike - Thank you for taking the time to show a bit of what you can do with a tablet. I agree with Jannie... start with one idea and build on it. Any chance of getting a copy of your presentation? Looking forward to more. Thanks, Patric

Onenote seems quite an easy and useful tool to use as well. Need a little time to explore more though. Share ideas and thoughts on ease of use and ways of getting the most out of it without becoming cumbersome.

Mate, at the risk of being told "press the blog button" how do you set up your blog on your page? I could search for the answer but I am spectacularly lazy as well as seriously lacking observation skills, (or as Tracy would put it, I'm a bloke) I am asking you intead.

Literacy & Laptops

Some thoughts/questions I have after the session - If technology tools/resources have such a proven positive and dramatic effect on improving literacy:
What are we doing in the classroom, how are we embedding these resources/tools in the classroom, curriculum?

What is the curricular plan for developing/researching/implementing technology tools or resources? Reading, Writing Coordinators?

Let's talk...and engag… Continue
