Abstract

Recent advances in small, personalized computing devices have made possible distributed and ubiquitous computing within the classroom. This creates a fundamentally different environment from one that has 4 or 5 desktop machines per classroom (Soloway et al., 2001). In this paper we sketch out the impact that Thinking Tags can have on the teaching and learning environment.
