Crazytalk Frog to reminisce
about his old pencil case in
school. In doing so he also
makes fun of the audience
and upsets the
presentation. Have one
which can be amended.
Poll everywhere to go in here.

Editor's Notes

  • #16 I cant emphasize enough the importance of having a good solid infrastructure in place before even thinking about getting mobile tablet devices in the classroom. The foundations are so important unless they are correct everything you put on top will fail.
  • #17 You need to have an enterprise level wireless system in place which is able to handle a high density of devices in a small space, for example in one classroom you may have 32 devices all connecting via a single access point, is your wireless system capable of this? A wireless system designed for home use is not good enough.
