Cameron Evans: Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft -
following ASU's Tablet PC Technology Forum, October 14, 2009

"As a musician, songwriter, and producer, this was one of the most enjoyable business trips I have had the opportunity to make this academic year.  My colleagues and I audited in a live course. We saw firsthand the difference technology makes to teaching and learning in higher education. The work Dr. Snodgrass is doing with Windows Tablet PCs at the Hayes School of Music is incredible.  The students have such a high degree of experiential learning in Music Theory that their retention, collaborative teamwork, and course outcomes are remarkable. So much so, the students in Dr. Snodgrass’ class are thrilled that their high aptitude (at that altitude) in music theory pays them dividends in their other non-Tablet PC courses." Read full post.
