- The future student's personal computer will be a palmtop or tablet device with wireless Internet access, software programs, input devices, and many mathematical capabilities. The student palmtop will have a calculator, graphing capabilities, productivity tools for word processing and spreadsheets, geometry construction tools, simulations, algebra systems, and intelligent tutor capabilities. The computer will start instantly. It also will be able to adapt to the user's interests and abilities and may even talk to him or her. The wireless device will have a touch screen option like a magic slate, allowing students to input or write without a keyboard. Battery life will be weeks.

Hi Heather
ReplyDeleteI like the talking computer idea. Just think about it - no more typing, you can talk out your paper. Hey, I wonder if the computer will do my spelling for me? -- that would be nice. Oh, and my punctuation marks too!
