Using table PCs in the classroom : an investigation of students' expectations and reactions / Jennifer M. Bonds-Raacke, John D. Raacke - September 2008 - Journal of Instructional Psychology 34 : 3, pages 235-239 .

The purpose of the current experiments were to investigate: (a) students' expectations with regard to the use of Tablet PCs within the classroom, (b) students' attitudes toward the implementation of Tablet Pcs within the classroom, and © the resulting classroom environment from the use of various technologies. Results indicated that although students were unsure about whether or not instructors would utilize Tablet PCs in the classroom, students reported very positive attitudes toward this implementation. In addition, students overwhelmingly reported that theclassroom was interactive and engaging, the use of technology enhanced the classroom, and that they benefited from its use. Future research should not only investigate the attitudes towards the use of Tablet PCs in the classroom but also the impact that the Tablet PCs have on students learning.
