The Impact of Tablet PCs and Pen-Based Technology on Education: Beyond the Tipping Pointby Jane C. (edt) Prey
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A wide variety of disciplines are embracing Tablet PC's and similar pen-based devices as tools for the radical enhancement of teaching and learning. Deployments of Tablet PCs have spanned the K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels and have dealt with an amazingly diverse range of subject areas. This work is aimed at identifying best practices in the educational use of pen-based computing so that all educators may benefit from this next generation of technology. Book News Annotation:Prey (Microsoft Research), Reed (Hewlett-Packard), and Berque's
(DePauw U.) monograph features a summary of the keynote presentation
and fifteen contributed papers from the workshop on the Impact of
Pen-Based Technology on Education (WIPTE) held at Purdue U. in June
2007. The contributions describe the use of pen-based
computing--particularly Tablet PCs--by both teachers and students in
K-12 and higher education in a broad range of subject areas,
including computer science, agronomy, chemistry, mathematics,
economics, physics, electrical engineering, and communications. They
also discuss classroom tools, techniques, and pedagogical models
which may be applied across multiple disciplines, such as note
blogging, support for group work, and other forms of active learning.
For all educators interested in learning more about this
next-generation technology.
