Yes, start using a different slate.

"Once upon a time, teachers used two tools: a blackboard and a piece of chalk. That has changed dramatically, and nobody knows it better than Charles Grisham, a biochemistry professor at the University of Virginia who is part of an experiment that provides Hewlett-Packard tablet PCs to the 100 students in his class.

Instead of writing notes with a pencil and paper, students are using state-of-the-art technology to learn about biochemistry. And initial evidence shows that they are learning the subject better and more quickly with the technology, Grisham said. So far, students' test scores this year are about 10 points higher than last year, he said.

The concept is simple: Providing the students with tablet PCs enables them to see Microsoft PowerPoint slides at their desks and type or handwrite notes that are saved electronically. An additional bonus: Grisham's lectures are recorded, and students can view them on their tablets at any time."
