WIPTE.org, the premier professional community of educators who are using pen-based computing, is running another video contest. Submissions are due September 15th. Download the Call for Video Entries today!

The 2009 winner was Seneca College, where students of the Applied Science Technology Fundamentals Certificate Program at Seneca College share their impressions of how their learning has changed in a first semester post-secondary mathematics classroom. To make the transformation possible, students use HP tablets and interactive DyKnow software.
