Tablet tales

On Friday my nine DU students turned in their case studies in Word format. I had intended to use Word's insert comments feature to make my notes on their papers and return the graded papers without ever needing to print them out. Yesterday it hit me that my TabletPC was made jsut for this. This morning on the flights from Denver to SF to Portland I took out my laptop and proceeded to grade the papers with red pen, completely electronically. Now when I send the graded papers back to my students they'll receive their papers complete with my handwritten comments, completely digitally, no dead trees required. Way cool!
