The Impact of Distributed and Ubiquitous Computational Devices on the Collaborative Learning Environment

摘要

Recent advances in small, personalized computing devices have made possible distributed and ubiquitous computing within the classroom. This creates a fundamentally different environment from one that has 4 or 5 desktop machines per classroom (Soloway et al., 2001). In this paper we sketch out the impact that Thinking Tags can have on the teaching and learning environment.
