Toshiba tablets

Well, some exciting news!!!! Southwell entered a competition to win 60 Toshiba laptops for two years to see whether they have any educational worth. We were lucky enough to win the competition and now we have the opportunity to work with Toshiba and The University of Waikato to do action research into what educational benefits a tablet laptop can provide. There are exciting times ahead.

When I went to the Toshiba training day there was an interesting presenter who made the comment about innovative practice. Leaders must "Back the runners to run" what an excellent concept. The presenter was from Frankston High School in Melbourne and he showed practical examples of how to use these machines effectively.
