What educators are saying about Toshiba...
“
The University of Ontario Institute of
Technology (UOIT) believes it is the first
university in Canada to teach using tablet
personal computers in every course across
an entire faculty. This is UOIT’s second year
of using this teaching strategy in Science.
We did a careful evaluation of several vendors
at the beginning of each year and Toshiba
consistently came out on top. We're ahead
of the curve. For teaching, it's the way to go.
Tablet PCs are particularly useful for math and
technical text notations and are more versatile
than electronic whiteboards or standard laptop
presentation software.

Tablet PC –ushering in a new era of mobile, versatile,
interactive computing for educators and students.
Notebook computers – enabling universal access to innovative learning.
Transform Teaching
Special Needs
Invest Wisely
Versatile
Make it Real and Applicable
• Make your presentations more
interactive and impactful. Using
electronic ink capture student
feedback or new information directly
into PowerPoint® slides. Unlike a
whiteboard, you maintain eye
contact with students at all times
when using a Tablet PC and
a projector.
• As an adaptive device, the
Tablet PC can be tailored specifically
to meet a wide range of special
needs from physically challenged
to learning disabilities.
• Tablet PCs can eliminate the need
for expensive electronic whiteboards.
They can be used in staff meetings
or for other administrative functions
such as note-taking, presentations
and collaboration on team projects.
Save, print or email notes, files
and annotated presentations.
• Cost-effective mobile computing
can be made available in mobile
carts for classroom sharing or
assigned individually for continual
use at school, library and dorm
or home.
• By delivering courses with the
use of notebooks, instructors
can increase the immediacy
and real-life relevance of their
courses. Teachers can use
technology to demonstrate a
concept with current examples
taken from today’s news headlines.
Engage Students
• Whether your students have visual,
auditory or kinesthetic learning
styles, ideas come to life with
on-screen notes, diagrams or
illustrated concepts – with a
pen-sensitive screen.
• Save the annotations for future
reference or integrate the additions
into existing documents or
online materials.
Lessons Come to Life
• Students are more involved when
teachers create visual components
in front of the class instead of using
prepared diagrams and slides.
Handwrite with Electronic Ink
• Students and teachers can take
and save their own handwritten
notes on a single device. Send
handwritten e-mail messages in
Microsoft® Office Outlook®.
• International students can write
notes in their own alphabets.
• Teachers can mark or make
notes on electronically submitted
papers or projects using electronic
ink to provide feedback and
recommendations that can be
shared amongst group members
and parents.
Record Audio
• Record lectures using linked audio
and store the MP3 files. With linked
audio capabilities, the Tablet PC
can record audio at the same time
students take notes.

between students
and teachers.
