Tablet PC's in Schools

I have been using a tablet PC in my classroom for the last two weeks. Within that time period it has made my teaching more efficient. I have embedded video links in the notes I use in class. All I have to do is click on the link and a video appears. There is no more fiddling with the remote and turning on the tv... Thanks to the projector the image is large and bright and a big difference over the overhead projector I had used for years. If a student missed the notes or needs a copy I can print them and give them to the student instantly; no more running to the copy room. There is also a savings in resources. I go through a lot less of the plastic film used on the overhead projector and fewer markers for writing on the overhead projector.

Please comment as to how you use tablet pc's in your classroom.
