The easier technology, and especially computers, makes things, the harder it gets when a small glitch happens and ruins your whole project. I had my laptop for 2 years now and, two days ago, it decided to crash. I wouldn't blame it, especially that I trusted it to handle all my work for me. Anyway, it crashed and delayed my work by at least two days until I was able to acquire a new one.
Yesterday, I picked up a way better computer, and I chose a tablet PC instead. I heard that it was much better than a laptop, and especially for teachers now that it has a better handwriting recognition system. Anyway, I'm in the process of tweaking it up and making it ready for Monday's classes. Let's hope it all goes well because I will be expecting many students to drool over it.
Have a great weekend everyone...
Hi Charbel,
ReplyDeleteCongratulation, pretty interesting choice you have there. How did you manage to get Tablet PC instead of the ordinary Laptop PC after years of using ordinary laptop. I had a tablet fujitsu p1620 running on windows Vista business before, but I found it's very hard to control the touchscreen, as it's not as sensitive as drawing tablet. So I sold it to a friend, who later removed the winOS and replaced it with Ubuntu.
By the way, how are you going to utilize the tablet function for the class. I'm really interested to know.
Best,
Rahmat
Dear Charbel,
ReplyDeleteLast year the same thing happened to me.
Your adventure is really important for all of us, as we shouldn't forget that we can easily loose all our monthly or even year work. We mustn't forget to save the information we need on CDs or flash cards not to ruin the project.
Good luck to you,
Irina
