Setting the Stage for a Valuable Educational Resource
Roepke, Jon
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v41 n4 p347-351 Jun 2013
This article addresses the roadblocks to collaborative computing using traditional computing and educational learning systems. With the emergence of tablet computing devices, many of the barriers to technology-driven collaboration have come down. The proliferation of these devices in educational environments has increased significantly and, as a result, opened the door for more innovative and engaging learning environments. New classroom presentation technologies that allow educators to expand the use of tablets now promise to replace interactive whiteboards, document cameras and related computing systems. This article presents one such technology that has several advantages over alternative presentation systems, including greater collaboration, ease-of-use, and lower capital and operational costs.
