We recently purchased a tablet with android 2.2 on it.
The students were invited to explore the device. Software such as Twitter, Blogger and Docs were installed on it. Immediately the students were mobile. Able to send photos and email their learning to anyone interested in hearing it. This authentic audience has certainly changed many students perception of learning. No longer are they writing for their teacher. They are writing for the entire world. That certainly is a very different course from the current mode of thinking.
What's next? Our goal is to have up to 5 tablets in every classroom. We won't be purchasing anything over $300 and will be using the Android system.
