factor for us.” He also liked HP’s adoption of Intel®
processors in the HP Compaq tc4400 Tablet PC, the
model Cary Academy eventually chose.
Transforming the classroom experience
The school initially purchased Tablet PCs only for the
teachers. It gave them most of an academic year to
acquaint staff with the technology, and to take
advantage of faculty development activities on
integrating it into the curriculum. The following year, it
purchased Tablets for every student. The Information
Services team developed a standard image of
software including such applications as Microsoft
Office, MS OneNote, Bluebeam Revu, Adobe 
Premier Elements and Photoshop Elements, Geometer’s
Sketchpad, Audacity, Fathom, and browsers including
MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. 
“The majority of teachers have really re-thought how
their classroom teaching is organized,” Morris says.
“What we’re seeing is less teacher-centered activity—
less ‘sage on the stage’, and a more conversational
approach in the classroom.” There is more student-
driven learning, encouragement of individual initiative
and Internet-based research, and adoption of Web 2.0
technologies, he notes.
After only six months, North Carolina State University’s
College of Education conducted an evaluation of Cary
Academy’s program. In it, students reported that the
use of technology during math and science class
jumped from perhaps four times a month to 20 times a
month—that is, virtually every day students are in the
classroom.
“We anticipated that the stylus interface would help
make the Tablet PC a daily tool in math and science
classes, just as a keyboard is readily accessible for
classes in the humanities.” 
Sam Morris, Instructional Technology Director, Cary
Academy
“Teachers are relying less on static information like
textbooks, and moving more towards Internet-based
resources,” Morris says. In history, students are using
Questia, a web-based repository of primary history
sources. Generally, he notes, students have access to
real data and use it rather than pretend problems and
data sets, which makes the classroom experience more
relevant and tangible in their lives.
Teachers can use SmartTech SynchronEyes software to
observe what every student in their class is doing, and
to ensure they remain on task. It also allows them to
take control of a student’s screen and project it to the
rest of the class—like going up to the traditional
blackboard to do a math problem.
“After our first year with the HP Tablet PCs, we asked
our 300 Middle School students [for the N.C. State
University evaluation] what piece of technology helped
“After our first year with the HP Tablet PCs,
we asked our 300 Middle School students
what piece of technology helped them learn
more. Almost 20 percent cited the Tablet PC
itself. In addition, quarter of them cited
Microsoft OneNote, which we would never
have even discovered if we hadn’t gone to
Tablet PCs.”
