I attended WIPTE earlier this week and I can honestly say I was overwhelmed by all of the great information. I wish I could have attended all the sessions, but alas, I often had to choose between four equally exciting topics offered simultaneously. Over the next few weeks I will try to share what I can of my WIPTE impressions.
CLASSMATE PC by INTEL
Some time ago I bought a great little tablet netbook (convertible) called 2GOPC. Imagine my surprise when Intel did a presentation at WIPTE on the Classmate PC Project, which included that PC. Little did I know how much software was available for it. Here's a YouTube that impressed me, even though it is also a bit old. Newer versions of Atom powered convertibles are available and I can't wait to get one. In the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkXLlXdCcsM we see some really cool Lego robotics control software that is a bit simpler than MindStorms because it is aimed at the K-6 crowd. At the end of the video they show the PC being used with a probe to do science investigations, again aimed at K-6. In between, several interesting programs are shown and I would guess that even more are available now. To research further, google "intel classmate pc"
