  1. WIPTE 2010 has announced that they are having an exciting debate style session in which proponents of Tablet PCs and IPads describe the potential educational impact of these devices.

    "Tablet PC versus IPad Education Smackdown" is just one of the high level presentations on the latest research and information to be shared by the experts in pen and touch computing.

    There will be 4 people on the panel. For a more detailed bio of each person's very impressive background, see http://www.wipte.org/smackdown.aspx

    I'll be interested to hear what they have to say. I still prefer Tablets because there is no fully featured note-taking software like OneNote for the iPad.

  2. Economics will surely be connected to technology, and so as vice versa. It is connected always and cannot be separated, mostly today where technology had its flying wings to take over.
