Tablet PCs Go to School

This is a fun article regarding an elementary class using the tablet pcs. I'm not sure I understand the student who complained about art. Maybe some software should be installed to help the person see it is possible to use the stylus and draw on the tablet.

Old school meets computer age

This article contains more details regarding this school's use of technology.

At this state-of-the-art school, each classroom is designed to share common "discovery pods" outfitted with laptops, digital cameras, LCD projectors, and large interactive "smartboards"; students from junior kindergarten through Grade 8 will be using the new technology for the bulk of their classwork; and, in the Grade 8 classroom, each of the 32 students has been issued his or her own "tablet" PC for use at school and home -- a compact laptop that can be used in traditional typing fashion or by writing notes and drawing diagrams directly onscreen with a stylus.

York's paperless classroom

Another article provides this information ... as well as more ...

Quote:
To make the computers more useful in the school, principal Jim Forbes decided to use his start-up technology budget of $225,000 to buy fewer, more expensive, Tablets rather than cheaper desktop computers. The board added 10 per cent for professional development for the teachers.
