Given your role as the K-12 Computer Science Academic Relations Manager for Microsoft, are you aware of the tablet pc advances that have come from Microsoft Research and the HP Technology for Teaching grant program? (www.hp.com/go/hpteach). </p> <p>I'm specifically thinking about Richard Anderson, a computer science professor at the University of Washington who is an HP grant recipient. He went on sabbatical at Microsoft and developed &quot;Classroom Presenter&quot;, the first of several software packages that creates an easy way for faculty to interact with students through their tablet pcs. </p> <p>Classroom Presenter is available for free for academic use (<a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/dl/presenter/">http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/dl/presenter/</a>), and is used by many HP Technology for Teaching grant recipients. </p> <p>There is also a terrific commercial package called DyKnow (www.dyknow.com) that supports student notetaking and rapid feedback.</p> <p>Thanks for the pointer to TJ school! I'm always interested in hearing examples like this..</p> <p>- Jim Vanides, Program Manager, Worldwide Higher Education Grants, HP</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/alfredth/archive/2007/09/10/a-laptop-school-that-seems-to-work.aspx#4920517Sat, 15 Sep 2007 03:35:16 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4920517Alfred Thompson<p>I have worked with the Classroom Presenter people at MS Research and seen it used at a number of universities. UMass Amherst uses it quite a bit in their School Of Management. It's a great tool. DyKnow is also somehing I find interesting and have seen it at a number of conferences.</p> <p>To other readers - I recommend Jim's blog as I find a lot of good things there.</p>
