Several Tablet PCs were taken to Valdosta Middle School (VMS) and students in
an honor mathematics program used the electronic-ink/touch-sensitive-screen
options of the Tablet PCs to learn about fundamental techniques in engineering
graphics, mathematics, and computations. Also, a Tablet PC and a portable in-focus projector
(from the HP Technology for Teaching Grant) were used in a presentation on opportunities
in engineering and significance of mathematics/physics in engineering. The presentation and the
Tablet PC workshop were designed to motivate/encourage
students in learning fundamentals of math and sciences, and
all students showed excitements and enthusiasm
in using Tablet PCs to learn math and sciences.
