Classroom Netbook Management Rotating Students – Assign a different group each day of the week. Example: If you are having students solve math problems the first 10 minutes of class a day, assign students to laptops each day to solve them using SMARTNotebook instead of on paper. Or charge that group to solve using wolfram Alpha, or other web 2.0 tool. Group work – one student in the group will be the researcher and use the netbook Station approach – Use for projects. One part of the project might be to plan out the research using Inspiration. http://www.nsta.org/publications/news/story.aspx?id=53323 http://www.nsta.org/publications/news/story.aspx?id=53323
