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.

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:
