Finally, almost three months after starting to blog about Tablet Teaching, I have now invested in my own tablet computer. I did actually have a tablet once before, an Archos 7 Home Tablet, but it didn't impress so I returned it to Amazon after about a week. Now I am the proud owner of an HTC Flyer which so far is making an excellent impression. The HTC Flyer doesn't seem to be the best known tablet but for me there were several reasons for making this choice. Firstly, an iPad is too expensive and for my taste a little bit too big as well. The HTC has a 7" screen which I find a nice size and it also has a stylus which you can use for all kinds of programs. If everything works out well I will also use my Flyer to replace my Kindle and thanks to the HDMI ouput will also be exploring using the tablet to give presentations. As I try out more and more m-learning software and discover new ways to use this tablet in class I will keep you all posted.
The second big news today is that I will now be using this blog as my virtual diary for the module "Applied Practice in Blended and Online Education" - part of my MSc course in Blended and Online Education which I am taking at Edinburgh Napier University. Each week I will post an official APBOT entry which will ultimately go towards making a patchwork text at the end of the trimester. As far as possible I will of course also post less serious entries as time allows.
That's all for now!
Neil
