In May 2006 and July 2007, we received two grants from HP valued at $190,000 to explore the role of Mobile Technology in improvement of teaching and learning. VSU was one of ten in the nation that were awarded the 2007 HP Technology for Teaching Leadership award designed to transform and improve learning in the classroom through innovative uses of technology. The technology is being utilized in engineering, biology, and geosciences courses to create opportunities for more interaction, collaboration, and mobility and to generate more interest in students and to enhance learning outcome. During this presentation we will discuss about the status of the project and our personal experience on the use of Tablet PC in classroom and field projects.
