Question:
How can 12 computers serve 90 students in 3 classrooms?
Answer: Since CalcuScribe costs so little, use
a cart that stores, transports, and recharges 30 or
more units. Place 2-3 computers and a printer in every
classroom and roll in the cart of CalcuScribes to each
room, every hour. Or
place a computer and a printer on top of the cart. Each
student gets computer access, for several hours a day.
Students
may also take CalcuScribes to field-trips or take the
home.
Problems
and Challenges:
1. Not enough computer access?
Tired of waiting or getting bumped off a computer? Trekking
from room to room to find a computer?
2.
Too noisy, where the computer is, for creative thinking?
3. Handwriting notes and then typing them on a computer?
4. Isn't a laptop too expensive for simple tasks like
writing?
5. Confused about which computer to get - Mac or a PC?
6.
Carrying too much weight?
7. Batteries keep depleting? Tired of connecting the
AC adapter? Cant find an AC outlet? Tripping over
the chord?
8. Afraid of losing the expensive laptop? Worried that
it will get damaged?
Solution: use a CalcuScribe!
Challenge:
So many students! There
are millions of students in our education system. By
the time they enter the job market they need skills
in language arts, math, sciences and be equipped with
Information Skills.
Problem: So few computers! About 70% of the time
we use just 20% of a computer's power to do keyboarding,
creative writing, editing, reading and data entry. Schools
have had two options: limited access to computers with
more power than is needed, at a high price, or to get
difficult to use portable devices with limited capabilities.
Solution: So, get the CalcuScribe! Now there
is a better solution. Students can bring their ideas
to life with the CalcuScribe. While computers crunch
processor-intensive 'publishing' tasks, using sound
cards, speakers, a million colors, etc. CalcuScribe
performs the behind-the-scene 'thinking' and 'labor-intensive'
tasks such as creative writing, lesson planning, data
entry, and developing math and keyboarding skills.
Now,
Two can Tango
Problem: Many schools, homes, and offices have
fewer computers than users. Contrary to common belief,
this creates a problem of keyboard access, not of computer
access. More than 70% of the time a computer is used
for inputting text, editing (revising), thinking, or
it sits idle. It's not prudent to buy another computer
since it's expensive. Costs include: hardware and software,
peripherals and Internet access lines, furniture and
real-estate, and staff salaries for maintaining the
equipment.
Solution: With CalcuScribe, users can capture
ideas or write memos, compositions and letters, or collect
data while computers perform multimedia tasks, web-browsing,
or other desktop applications.
Let
your learning needs drive your technology purchases,
not vice versa.
CalcuScribe is perfect for multitasking and virtual
computing!
Can't
bring the class to a computer?
Then bring the CalcuScribe to the classroom!
Imagine you are in a meeting or a classroom.
You tirelessly scribble notes to capture the ideas in
your mind. Then you take the fragmented ideas to a computer
- if one's available! Why duplicate the effort? Use
CalcuScribe - maintain eye contact with the teacher,
while typing. Later, edit your notes with cut and paste
and beam the file into a computer. Voila! your thoughts
flow into any application directly onto the computer's
monitor - ready for publication.
Work less, accomplish more!
Have CalcuScribe, Will Triumph
InterLink 'n' InterAct: CalcuScribes communicate
with each other. Thus, students and teachers can send
files to each other. The teacher can prepare a story
or an assignment on a CalcuScribe and transfer it to
several CalcuScribes before the class begins.
InfraLink: copy 'n' paste text from one file
to another or within a file!
Dock 'n' Link: CalcuScribe links wirelessly
with the InfraLink pod which connects to a Mac or a
PC. InfraLink communicates wirelessly with CalcuScribe
and feeds data to a computer or a printer. Alternatively,
a simple keyboard cables to connect CalcuScribe to a
desktop computer. No other hardware or software is required
to transmit to a computer, to a printer, or to another
CalcuScribe.
CalcuScribe - not just another portable keyboard, but
an intelligent laptop word processor and a unique interactive
calculator!
Link
'n' Send is as simple as: Copy 'n' Paste.
Frustrated when disks or files are incompatible and
conversion programs just don't help? Then try copy
'n' paste from:
*
one
CalcuScribe to CalcuScribe
*
one
file to another file within the same CalcuScribe;
*
within
a file;
*
from
CalcuScribe to a computer or to a printer.
Copy 'n' Paste is a powerful technique that has worked
on computers. Now use it to transfer data from CalcuScribe
to a computer.
