Time to learn

Sunday, 05 July 2009 | 4 Comments

Teacher’s throughout NSW DET schools are starting to receive their DER netbooks.

I got mine on Friday, and chose a bright red skin for the outside.

To give you an idea of the screen real-estate, here is a screenshot with GeoGebra open (click the thumbnail below for full-size).

Tomorrow I’m going to a training course run by PD4Maths about GeoGebra, I’m going to take along this little machine to get some practical experience using it.

Have you tried connecting it to an interactive whiteboard??

No. But, as the Interactive Whiteboard in my classroom is an InterWrite - and the drivers for that are not installed on the machine, it's not going to work. It probably would work if the board was a SMART, as it has the software and drivers.

Is Windows Aero disabled by default?

By default a basic Windows Theme is selected, but you can switch to Aero, "see screenshot":http://mathsclass.net/images/uploads/aero.jpg. (Being a Mac user, by Aero you mean the transparent window effect right?)
