Exploring learning with Tablet PCs
The Australasian Tablets in Education Conferences (ATiEC) in 2009 and 2010 combined, brought together more than 60 educators from Australia and New Zealand to present their experiences of teaching with Tablet PCs. They explored – and pushed – the boundaries of learning with tablets and using digital pen-based technology.
Presenters included educators from a variety of settings, including primary and secondary schools, vocational training and higher education. Experience ranged from early adopters and sophisticated users of tablet-based teaching, to those just starting on the journey.
