Top 10 Benefits of a Tablet PC in Education

The blogger for Writing on your palm provides his viewpoints and comparison of a PDA versus a Tablet PC. It seems some of the myths are carried along during some of these ideas so it seems there is more work to get the word out that a Tablet PC is able to use the same software that you own on your desktop whereas a PDA requires special versions of software. In addition, you must train the handwriting on a PDA. Have you ever watched people using a PDA? Oh my gosh ! It like takes them forever to enter in a telephone number.

In addition, I'm not much of this has to do with education. Instead, it has to do with mobility.

Try this suggestion as a final test for a PDA versus a Tablet PC. Enter a classroom in which the professor has prepared a PowerPoint presentation. Now let's see the student with the PDA take notes while the Tablet PC user is able to mark up the PPT.

Well, continue reading the blog entry.
