Lenovo® ThinkPad Tablet
From the makers of the ThinkPad® line of computers comes an exciting Android 3.1 Tablet that offers a superior educational and multimedia experience for the classroom... The Lenovo® ThinkPad Tablet. Unlike other Tablets, it comes with additional features to help students and educators do more on the go providing an in-time, on-time, anytime learning environment. It also allows IT managers to support them easily, no matter where they are. This provides better management of multiple devices, more customization options, enhanced security, higher productivity, and most importantly more effective use of learning time. So, if you are looking for a Tablet built for education, then it has to be the Lenovo® ThinkPad Tablet. See the "details" for more specifics.
Every 2 and 3 day attendee of the HECC conference will receive a Lenovo® ThinkPad Tablet.
Top Tips for HECC
HECC is approaching quickly and it is time to start preparing! Whether you are a seasoned veteran or it is your first time attending, these tips should be helpful for you in getting the most out of your time at the conference.
Digital Tools Matter - From Paper/Pen to Mouse/Keyboard
Tools are important for learning and demonstrating knowledge. One-size-fits-all instruction does not work and never has. Effective instruction should start where students are rather than where they are expected to be. To achieve this type of customization, we must be able to change content to meet individual needs. CK-12 began with our teacher-centric 1.x FlexBook System. FlexConcepts, our new 2.0 tool, focuses on students with an interactive platform that allows them to learn specific concepts.
