Teaching, Technology, and Learning

For years I put up with the built-in microphone on my tc1100 for recording lectures when using Camtasia Studio. The problem with the built-in microphone is its weak strength; the volume for recorded audio is extremely low and requires amplification to be heard adequately in a video. This arrangement finally became untenable when I replaced my 4200 rpm hard drive with a much noisier 7200 rpm hard drive, resulting in annoying clicks in the audio.

One of my interests is finding ways for educators to use Tablet PC's.

In place of the traditional blackboard or whiteboard I've been using
a HP TC1100 tablet PC connected to a video projector with inking through Microsoft OneNote. In the past I've switched back and forth between Agilex GoBinder and OneNote, and right now I give the slight nod toward the 2007 version of OneNote.

Currently I have been using TechSmith's Camtasia Studio to record what
I am doing on the screen together with audio. To save some space I convert

I installed Vista on my tc1100 last week and as reported elsewhere in the blog-o-world, it's relatively smooth. I ran the Vista upgrade advisor and it told me to free up disk space and get new wireless drivers. By downloading the most recent WLAN drivers from HP's support site, I was able to get wireless working on the initial install.
