Good to Kno...

Do you know about Kno?

As adults in the professional realm we may never be that familiar with Kno. However, if you are a teacher, a student, or a parent of a student you might wanna pay attention because textbooks are getting a major face lift.

Now there is Kno! (Que the church choir singing hallelujah)

Kno is a 5.5 pound dual screen tablet that allows students to upload their textbooks, write on a digital notebook paper, make notes, have instant internet connection, highlight material, keep track of test dates, and so much more. Oh what I would have given to have something remotely like this as a student. Who knows the long term damage my spine has suffered from 30+ pound book bags.

Anyways, I thought this would be interesting to see where this goes in the long term. If your ever around kids you know the feeling of astonishment when you see a four year-old navigate the computer just as well as you do. So I'm sure Kno will be a walk in the park.
