Backlighting

Does anybody know how to make the backlighting settings stick when you shut the Tablet down and reboot? Every time I boot up, I have to adjust the backlighting by using the FN and Home keys. When I shut down and restart, I lose the increased backlighting. Very annoying!

Using Stylus to comment on Student papers

I've been experimenting with actually writing (with stylus) on students' e-mailed work......it's all electronic this way, and it's frankly what I'd anticipated using this Tablet PC for.....here's a sample of a dialogue Paul Blake and I had last night....as we were both figuring out how this was going to work:

Oh btw the handwriting thing is great!!!!!!! It is so cool! It makes everything so much easier because I can make the corrections right on the page!

Better!
>>> PAUL BLAKE 9/11/2007 9:51 PM >>>
I made some corrections.
>>> Tim Rogers 9/11/2007 9:47 PM >>>
Great! See what you can do to fix those up, if you understand what I meant....and you can just add your sentence combinations to this document as well....thanks for being my guinea pig!
>>> PAUL BLAKE 9/11/2007 9:46 PM >>>
yes sir!
>>> Tim Rogers 9/11/2007 9:45 PM >>>
See if my comments have shown up here.....

One-Note session

Chris helped me set up my classroom (new audio/video equipment) so that I can use One-Note as an immediate projection session.....I foresee doing notes and background material ahead of time (typing, using a higher percentage type size, as my handwriting is lousy), then using that instead of my classroom white board......I can always go back and use the stylus to highlight/underscore important points. I've thought about then sending the notes to kids afterwards to possibly store in a folder of their own. Chris and I found a way.....from a One Note page, go to File, then Send To......it'll open up the e-mail address box, and send the page as a One-note file (which kids can't open apparently) and an html, which they can......I plan to experiment with this these first few weeks.....I don't want to them to not take notes in class of course, so I'll need to decide what/how much I send them on a daily basis.
I'm now able to download and post a United Streaming video to a One-Note page as well.....still unsure how to do a YouTube video other than just show it directly from the net.
I've been unsuccessful at using Snag It....anyone have any helpful hints?

Peter Jordan Question

Anybody have an answer to Peter Jordan's question about OneNote?


I was going to have my students instal the trial version on Onenote so that they will be able to open files we create in class, however in the installation process through the Microsoft site it says there will be a key needed if it will be used more than 25 times. Is there another way to be able to allow students to use the program so they can view the app outside of class?
