An anonymous commenter sent this for a post I made in 2005. First, thanks for so many of you continuing to read posts in archieves. Second, I usually don’t post anonymous comments, but this one deserves an exception. So here it is as part of a post:
“Years later and I’m still looking for decent tablet pc based home school learning on a tablet pc. I have an old tc1000 that I’d like to put Switched on schoolhouse on it and have found limitations in the processor, but work arounds exit. Switched on schoolhouse works fine as most are multiple choice questions with mouse click. There are some input windows and then it generates a execute to ms word or office or notebook or any other program for writing, I’ve gotten it to work with windows journal too. The problem is 2008 software and the continual need to upgrade existing equipment just to use the software!”
Thanks, Anon, for the update. Have other homeschoolers faced the same problem? Has the price point for new Tablets dropped enough for any of you to use them for homeschooling? It’s now substantially lower than Rob Bushway’s observation.
