Innovation within your reach.

Increasingly, educators are looking to technology tools to help them engage students more effectively, to increase teacher effectiveness, and to enhance collaboration both inside and outside of the class- room. One of the key challenges they face today is to create a more vibrant and interactive learning environment that will improve the educational experience for students. From the largest university lecture hall to the smallest grade-school classroom, teachers are always searching for better ways to share information with students, deliver more interactive learning materials, and facilitate participation in rich and engaging class discussions.

Tablet PCs from Microsoft® Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) Partners, combined with industry solutions from leading independent software vendors (ISVs) and system integrator partners, provide the wireless mobile access that can help educators tackle the challenges they face. The evolution of the notebook PC, these new portable devices combine the power and functionality of notebook PCs with next-generation pen-and-ink and built-in wireless capabilities to transform the way educational materials are created, shared, and used. Today, the Tablet PC, with its longer battery life, is redefining mobility, putting the power of the familiar Microsoft Windows® XP user interface in the hands of teachers, students, and administrators in more situations than ever before.

•Improved Note-Taking Capabilities: The ability to use the Tablet PC to take notes using pen-and-ink applications saves time for educators and students, while creating a richer, more interactive

classroom experience.

•Better Student Retention and Higher Test Scores: By improving learning effectiveness and student-teacher collaboration, the Tablet PC can help increase attendance and raise test scores.

•Reduced Teacher Workload: Because it makes it easier to grade papers and create, share, and reuse classroom materials, Tablet PCs enable teachers to spend more time working with students and less time on paperwork.

Benefits Include:

•Enhanced Student-Teacher Interaction: The Tablet PC enables new levels of student-educator engagement and collaboration, both inside and outside the classroom.

•Greater Learning Effectiveness: Teachers and students can record lectures and synchronize audio with their presentation notes. Lectures can then be made available for review and selective playback at any time.

•More Convenient Mobile Education: For students and teachers, the wireless capabilities and unique form factor of the Tablet PC can turn almost any location into a remote classroom where they can access the resources they need.
