Exploring Tablet PCs for the Classroom
Teaching and Learning with Technology
1:00-2:00 pm
C106
Please join Bassam Matar (Engineering Science), Scott Adamsson (Math) and Wendy Matar (English) with an hour full of activities that explore the Tablet PC. What are Tablet PCs? They are are fully-functional laptop PCs and more. You can use a special pen to draw/diagram, take notes or grade right on the screen. You can also use the pen in place of a mouse to do things like select, drag, and open files. While the Tablet PC looks just like a conventional laptop PC, the screen rotates 180 degrees so you can lay it flat over the keyboard for a more comfortable reading and writing experience.
During the workshop, each faculty will address 1) how to use the Tablet PC, 2) the benefit of the Tablet PC in your discipline, and 3) explore the different free education software that you can download off the net.
Adjunct-faculty currently teaching at CGCC who participate in this workshop will be paid at the non instructional or professional development rate of $24.95/hr.
