Movie about How I teach with tablet PC’s

ACS Video 6

Dyknow 5.2 is a great improvement!

Faculty have uploaded 5.2 and the crashing problem we encountered last year is gone. Students in class are having fewer crashing problems (1 person twice). I am getting more comfortable using added features, and the new version works really well with PowerPoint files. the slide animations in PowerPoint are preserved in the DyKnow presentation, so I can do the “controlled release of information within a slide content, exactly like PowerPoint.

Semester 3 with Dyknow and tablets

Well, we are starting our second year, and now that we have an encrypted wireless network we are having far fewer problems with access to the servers. We have 26 tablets in the hands of students and the archive on our Moodle site is working well. I still am having trouble with voice capture, with the bluetooth. . . but in comparison to year one, it is a dream.
Analytical Physics (PHYS 167) and a couple of labs in physics are also using tablets this year, Aaron Miller in 167 has a full class of 26, all with tablets.

Oh, and the local paper (Jackson Citizen-Patriot) ran a story on my class in today’s paper!! (See link below)
