Here are two interesting articles about CMU's work in Qatar with Tablet Computers in Education, illustrated above. Sorry the jpegs are so small.
The first article is at http://www.qatar-tribune.com/data/20100209/content.asp?section=nation2_3

I couldn't find the CMUQ helps schools use Tablet PC's. The article tells about how CMU is providing applications such as those we have discussed on this blog to 7th and 8th grade students at Qatar Academy. Networking the Tablet PC's allows assignments to be easily exchanged between students and teachers. Students and teachers can also collaborate on math problems instead of teachers just grading the final results, through a program called WebMath.

Carnegie Mellon is trying to get funding for Webmath from the Qatar National Research fund. This grant would enable CMU and Qatar Academy to research and evaluate Webmath over a three year period.
