Dr. Gunawardena's WIPTE Keynote has generated a great deal of additional interest in the potential of Tablet PC's. In addition, we are hearing rumors about new and improved tablet/touch combinations. Here are further thoughts from Dr. Gunawardena inviting our blog readers to share ideas on the FACEBOOK group: pen-computing application group. (This link can take you to a Facebook login.)
"Pen computing is a promising paradigm. However, we need to imagine what applications makes sense when provided with pen and touch interfaces. I can think of Tablet Flash Cards, where cards can be moved using a touch interface and cards can be created using a pen interface. This dual interaction modality is very natural in interacting with such an application. What other applications are possible in k-12? How about a smart paper that can understand the equations you write, interpret, graph and solve them. if you have any ideas of cool pen applications, join the facebook group, "pen-computing application group". Share your ideas and may be someone will help develop it. Good for all of us."
