| Have you ever seen anyone try to balance a laptop on one arm while typing with the other? Tablet PCs are a new type of computer that enables users to be much more portable than ever before. "The Tablet PC's compact, convertible design allows you to comfortably use your computer in small spaces even while standing up. Tablet PCs also include wireless Internet support and a long battery life." In addition to a hands-on exploration of the "ink"-enabled features of Microsoft Office and the Windows operating system, this short course will showcase a number of classroom-based software tools that are exceptionally well-suited for the tablet. This short course is for anyone that wants to make better use of their Tablet or is considering the purchase of one. Although Tablet PCs will be provided, those that own one are encouraged to bring it to this session. | |||
