colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and
around the world. Brookfield received a 2005 grant
providing five HP Compaq tc1100 Tablet PC
notebooks, five HP digital projectors, five HP
Photosmart M22 digital cameras and a printer
photocopier/scanner for a team of teachers to use in
classroom instruction.

Based on the success of this first project, Brookfield
received a seco nd grant in 2006, providing a mobile
cart with an HP ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420
NA (J8130A) and 15 HP Compaq tc4400 Tablet PCs
to support an entire class of students at one time.

Wilkinson says the teachers with access to HP products
for teaching quickly moved beyond the environmental
study project and began integrating technology into all
subject areas. Now HP mobile computing products are
enabling student research, simultaneous hands-on and
computer activities, online learning exercises and
scavenger hunts, and making lecture notes and
background materials more accessible to students. 

“The key to Brookfield’s success is its strategic view of
how technology can be used in a school,” says Hilary
LaMonte, a project leader for the International Society
of Technology in Education (ISTE), whose professional
development program was used to help Brookfield
faculty prepare for technology in the classroom. “They
start with teaching and learning goals first, and then
look at how technology can help.” 

Student benefits
With the HP products provided through the first year
grant, teachers were able to present lectures and other
material using the Tablet PCs and digital projector.
They accessed new resources in developing lectures

and classroom presentations, making them both more
interesting and informative to students. They made
lecture notes and other materials available to students
electronically. Students can also submit lab reports and
other assignments electronically.

With the second year’s grant, the Tablet PCs became
available to students themselves. Though the PCs  have
been available to students for just a short time,
Wilkinson says using HP technology has already made
the classroom a more interactive environment. Students
no longer just copy written information off a
blackboard; now they stay engaged and know they
can download the lecture notes later using Blackboard
software. 

Students also create PowerPoint presentations,
combining words, music, digital pictures and online
resources. Several teachers at Brookfield use the in-
classroom research capabilities afforded by HP
technology to challenge their students. 

“I heard things like ‘Ooooh, that’s how it works!’   and
‘oh, now I get it.’ There were definitely some ‘Ah-ha’
moments.”
Wanda Kilfoil, Physics Teacher, Brookfield High School

Wanda Kilfoil, who teaches Physics, recalls teaching a
lesson on electromagnetism using computer simulations
running on the HP Tablet PCs. “Because
electromagnetism can be a very abstract topic, the
opportunity to visually observe patterns and effects
was extremely valuable,” she says. “The students,
working in pairs, were engaged for the full hour and
were discussing what they were seeing. I heard things
