The Lenovo tablet has been a wonderful addition to my technology resources. Right from the start I embraced the use of the tablet and filled it with all of the Kenan electronic files and resources. The first days I spent at DPI I added notes, files, and downloads pertaining to DPI assessments and curriculum. All of my standards work, my assessment questions, and resources were created on my tablet and having that one stop place for all of my work made my organization and productivity that much more efficient. For my classroom my school initially provided me with a laptop, but having the Lenovo tablet for use at home has given me another dimension for finding classroom resources, downloading and playing multimedia presentations, and accessing the internet at home. Living in a busy household with 2 teenage kids of my own, finding the availability of a computer can be difficult. Having the tablet as an additional piece of technology allowed me to accomplish simple tasks such as grading, updating blackboard, and communicating with parents via email without having to fight with others in my house for the one household laptop we had.

The portability of the tablet has allowed me to carry it to meetings, sports activities, and on trips so I could continue to work and access my files on the go.  In addition, the tablet is fun! My daughter has downloaded games, simulations, music, and pictures, all kinds of fun activities that I’m not allowed to put on my work computerJ. Just one more wonderful bonus of the Kenan Fellowship!
