Hi all,
Actually having taught with an IWB AND a tablet pc in my year 12 & 10
classes last year at the school I was at then - I wonder what extra
stuff an IWB can do as opposed to a tablet pc linked to a digital
projector? Does it actually prepare your classes and mark the roll too?
It would be an interesting exercise to compare - IWB vs
tabletPC+projector - because I can't see what an IWB could do more than
a tablet pc, but maybe that is just my ignorance (and believe me I can
be very ignoramous!!) Although I do know that if you use the tablet you
can be anywhere in the room - no light shining in your eye - you can
even be at the back of the room if you like if you use a wireless link.
Is there anyone out there who has the luxury of having a tablet pc
program AND interactive whiteboards? If so please let me know how they
compare :)
Not that either is an option for me - if I could just have 27 computers
which are not 4 years old, which worked, in a classroom with 27 mice and
27 keyboards for my 27 kids, and if my kids were NOT limited to educache
(ie they cant even get google) THAT would be a luxury, cos atm there are
about 19 computers that work, and about 15 mice and about 17 keyboards -
I carry around spare mice which I bought at officeworks in my bag!
Oh well - school here finishes on the 13th - thank you james hardie for
those "asbestos free" days we are about to receive!!
Cheers

Poor Ros. If you like, you can bring your class around to the potting
shed to enjoy the benefits of our superior technology :-)
Principal indeed! Actually, I'm wishing the gardener's job was coming
up...
