STEM Education Institute Tuesday Seminar
Heath Hatch of the Department of Physics at UMass will give a seminar titled “Four Years of Teaching with the Tablet PC: What Works and What Doesn’t”.
Heath Hatch has been using the tablet PC to teach physics to both large and small classes for the past four years. He has also used the tablet PC for online teaching. For this seminar, he will describe some techniques that have proved successful and discuss other approaches that haven't worked as well as hoped when using the tablet PC as a teaching tool. Information about added software that can be used to enhance the lecture, both in class and online, will be presented. The tablet PC is like having the best of both worlds: a chalkboard and modern technology together in one clean package.
