learn how
to maximize these new communication and collaboration resources. When
adding
the Tablet PC technologies to undergraduate education, we must rethink
how this
will improve teaching and learning. Many questions arise. How does a
Tablet PC
alter teacher and student interaction? How will teacher-only tablet
class
differ from a setting where all students have one? How will this affect
the
content of the course or curriculum? What strategies, tools, and
techniques can
scale across large numbers of teachers and students? Are these new
pedagogies
and strategies applicable to other disciplines?...</span></font></i></span><i><span
