May I suggest classroom presenter as a tool to use during lectures for student feedback and class interactions? email me if you dont know about it - I've been using a tablet in class for the past 3 years and I wouldn't present without it! My students stoped hating lecturing time and started asking when they were going to "play the notes game", and honestly I didnt really change much about the way that I taught. Also, when it comes to the wiki and blog, I find it very helpful for students if you model the kinds of things you want them to do. If I gave them a reading assignment and asked them to post on the wiki, I would make sure (at least at the beginning of the year) that there was some kind of model for them to follow - a "seed" post if you will that let them know the kind of language and examples I wanted from them. Cant wait to hear more about how it goes! ~Leigh Ann Great idea to incorporate the web 2.0 materials as you are introducing the tablets into your classroom.
