It may not be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I had a lot of fun with DyKnow Vision in my graduate classroom this Fall. Those who have read this blog will note that I discussed problem based learning in my graduate econometrics class last Spring when my students had Tablets for 6 whole weeks. The 'experiment' was a great success. This Fall 2007 I am again in a 1:1 relationship with my graduate students as each have assigned to them a Tablet PC for the entire year. Once again I am collecting performance and attitude information from the students about their Tablet PC use in learning Econometrics.
Last spring when I spoke on the problem based learning at the DyKnow Users Conference at DePauw university I participated in an interview with two other economists, Michelle Valinski and Mary Dixon, and this video is the result. Click here to see the video. You have to watch for a while to see me.

Tricking Out Your HP2710p
This is written for the UA faculty, but it applies to anyone who has one of the new HP2710p Tablet PCs. Learning to change the default settings to make it more efficient and convienience can be a great help. Read it here. It is posted on the UA Digital Ink Group web page.

More on Note Taking with One Note
On the Student Tablet PC, Robert posts on Note Taking using the Cornell method in One Note. It is a good reference.
More on Electronic Grading and Mark-up
Jim Vanides from HP is at it again with Tablet PC tip #3, this time on electronic grading or mark up. I posted a comment with links to some posts in this blog. What I didn't point out is how unreliable digital ink markup in Microsoft Word is. It is too easy to find times where the typed words and the ink marks do not connect and stay together. Circle a word in MS Word and make changes in the document and many times that circle is still there, just no longer around the original word. I can't work with that uncertainty. The PDF markup software, MS Journal and even One Note are far superior.
