Student puts new technology to the test - From eSchool News staff and wire service reports

Forest City, Iowa, high school sophomore Liv Anderson isn’t using any paper for classroom notes or assignments for four weeks. Instead she’s using the latest in portable computer technology, a Compaq Tablet PC T1000 from Hewlett-Packard Co., as an experiment. The Tablet PC can be used as a laptop with a keyboard or as a slate with a special digital pen to navigate and take handwritten notes. A portable document scanner allows Anderson to transfer homework assignments and reference material handed out in class into the computer.
