Tablets in school!
My Granny used slate tablets in school. It appears Tablet is back although these (PC’s) are convertibles. The evening news reported on Project Chaos – a trial of tablet and other new IT technology in NZ public schools. It looked like they were having fun while learning lots, a good
Digital Paper takes flight
Recently I blogged about digital design of Aircraft using the title “The end of paper flight?”. The odd thing is that many flights, especially in light aircraft, are totally dependent on paper – thick books of charts and flight instructions.
