Day 30 – Lessons Learned from 30 Days with a Surface Pro Windows 8 Tablet

30 Days of Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet

4/10/2013

Wow, just Wow!

I began my first postof this blog series with a Wow, and it is only fitting to close with yet another Wow after spending 30 Days with the Surface Pro.

The Surface Pro Windows 8 Tablet is an amazing and versatile device, especially for teachers and students. Having a 10.6 inch by ½ inch thick tablet with digital Pen, touch, and keyboard/mouse input and a full-size USB 3.0 port allows for much flexibility for the creative process of teaching and learning.

Surface Pro connected wirelessly to HDTV in the background.

The first thing that impressed me was how fast the Surface Pro was compared to my Samsung Ativ Clover Trail tablet. Of course, everything is relative and speed wins in the race of first impressions. The Intel Core i5 processor handled everything I threw at it over the past 30 days. It did not choke on processor-intensive applications like some of my experiences with the Samsung Ativ Clover Trail tablet that I previously reviewed on this blog.

I have kept an open mind as I have put the Surface Pro through its paces. Many in the blogosphere will focus on the negative, especially when it comes to Microsoft, while ignoring the tremendous potential that has been afforded by this new class of device.

This is the type of device I have been waiting for as an educator for the past two decades. It is small, light-weight, mobile, and has the power to get things done. The fantastic possibilities are staring us right in the face.

The Surface Pro is a hybrid device that stretches between the traditional desktop paradigm of computing and the new touch-first experience of Windows 8. Yes, the interface is new and different, and you will have to learn a new way of doing some things, but that is why we call it “new”.

Do not let the newness block you from taking advantage of the Windows 8 interface. Once you learn just a few keyboard shortcuts and new swipe gestures you will become proficient with the “new” way of doing things in a couple of days. Swiping in with your right thumb brings up the Charms bar, swiping down from top to bottom will close an app, and swiping in with your left thumb repeatedly will cycle through open apps and allows you to easily multitask.

I have provided links to two screencasts from Scott Hanselman below that if you take just ½ hour to learn the new Windows 8 interface many of the complaints you hear about will go away. We can spend our energy complaining, as many will do, or we can adapt and move on to take advantage of fantastic new possibilities. I choose the latter.

Learn Windows 8 in 3 minutes (OK, it's really 4)

The Missing Windows 8 Instructional Video - Who moved my Windows 8 Cheese

As for the old consumption versus production argument about tablets, it is not even close. The Surface Pro is definitely a production device providing the power needed for producing creative content at a professional level.

The Surface Pro is also equally at home on the consumption side of things with tens of thousands of apps in the Windows Store, access to Xbox Music and Video services, and millions of traditional desktop applications that are compatible with Windows 8. The major apps are there for entertainment purposes including Netflix for videos and the Kindle and Nook apps for reading ebooks.

There is a small price to pay for this production capability. The battery-life of the Surface Pro is around five hours, less if you are doing intensive video editing with it. I have learned to keep it plugged into a power strip on my desk when I am doing processor intensive activities. The back of the Surface Pro will also get warm from intense processor activity and you will hear a fan whisper in the background as it blows across the i5 processor to keep it cool.

My Surface Pro kit over the past 30 days. In this picture you see USB Man, Xbox controller, wireless Arc mouse, Logitech headset I use for podcasting and screencasting, and of course, the digital Pen.

Teaching and Learning with the Surface Pro

I think I have demonstrated over the past 30 days that the Surface Pro is a fantastic choice for teachers, students, and others that want a full-featured tablet device with few compromises. Let’s take a look at what I have asked of the Surface Pro over the past 30 days:

Creating and editing podcast episodesof the TechTalk4Teachers

Creating original Music tracks using MixCraft

Creating original artwork using SketchBook Express and the amazing digital Pen

Creating and editing new ITC Techshare video screencasts

Creating and editing documents in Word 2013, Excel 2013, and PowerPoint 2013 (the fully functional Office 2013 applications, not watered down apps)

Creating notes using OneNote2013 with the digital Pen extensively for notetaking with my notes stored on SkyDrive that are also immediately accessible on my mobile phone.

Using the digital Pen for marking up Word documents and saving them as PDF’s (with ink annotations) to return to students.

Using business related applications including our university business system, learning management system, and other enterprise systems.

Using a Xbox wireless controller to fly through the Universe using the Worldwide Telescope program.

Using the Multiuseraccount feature of the Surface Pro. Having multiple accounts is a great feature, especially for screencasting where you can keep a more pristine look and not display your personal account information.

Using the USB 3.0 port of the Surface Pro daily (this is one of my favorite feature and it is nice to have accessible and expandable storage on a tablet device)

I have also connected the Surface Pro wirelessly to the big screen (HDTV/Projector) so I can roam about the room completely untethered by wires. This allows me to “mirror” my screen to the HDTV so students see what I am seeing on the Surface Pro tablet. Range is about 50 feet.

What did I miss? If there is something I have missed in the day-to-day life of a teacher that you are curious about let me know.

I have not really had the chance to talk much about the enterprise management features built-in to the Surface Pro, but suffice it to say these are critical to rolling out any tablet initiative or 1:1 program in mass. The enterprise toolset is there, SCCM, InTune, VDI, Remote Desktop, and AD with group policies. Since the Surface Pro runs Windows 8 Pro I can access Active Directory and other enterprise resources. Docking stations are also available that can morph the Surface Pro into a desktop unit with a larger external monitor and full-size keyboard and mouse.

So there you have it, a whirlwind tour of the Surface Pro and its many capabilities for teachers and students. This is not the future, everything I have shared over the past 30 days you can do today, all at an affordable cost.

I still use my Samsung Ativ Smart PC but look at it as a consumption device. The Ativ is a great device, with 10 hours of battery-life, but when I need to get real work done with a tablet or produce creative works I reach for the Surface Pro first.

Surface Pro Rocks!

Day 29 – Screencasting and Video Editing on the Surface Pro

30 Days of Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet

4/09/2013

Welcome to Day 29 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators, almost home, one more day.

I have been creating educational screencasts for the past 30 days using the Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet as part of this blog series. I have kept this relatively quiet as I wanted to thoroughly test the capabilities of the Surface Pro’s i5 processor. For the most part I have been satisfied with the results. The screencasting application I have been using most this month is Camtasia Studio, by Techsmith, and Version 8 is compatible with Windows 8 on the Surface Pro.

There is something magical about using the Surface Pro with its digital Pen in combination with Camtasia Studio to record screencasts. It is easy to use and the digital Pen is a natural for marking selections and annotating on the screen. There is a cost however as the street price for Camtasia Studio is $180 US.

If you checkout my blog posts for Day 22, Day 24, and Day 27 you will see examples of embedded YouTube videos that I created using the Surface Pro and Camtasia Studio. Day 26, I used Ink2Go to record the screencast and you can tell a difference, especially in audio quality. I used the exact same headset (Logitech H330) to record all episodes so the difference was in the codec used to encode the screencast with Camtasia clearly sounding better.

In the future I may consider screencasting my OneNote sessions as the digital Pen writes fluidly on the Surface Pro and I could record my voice at the same time. I could then share out both my screencast video and my OneNote notebook with students.

Another possibility is grading student papers using Microsoft Word by recording a screencast of a grading session and using the built-in drawing tools in MS Word to markup notes on a students paper. I could then share the grading session screencast along with emailing the students paper back to them as a PDF attachment with inked notes included.

I did try to use Camtasia on the Samsung Ativ Windows 8 tablet however the Clover Trail processor was under powered for the intense processing required for screencasting. I could do short screencasts, but anything over a minute or two was too cumbersome to edit and produce, not so with the Surface Pro.

With the popularity of the flipped classroom creating screencasts is becoming more common for the average teacher. Having tools like the Surface Pro and Camtasia Studio make this time-intensive task much easier and faster. The Core i5 processor along with 4GB of RAM in the Surface Pro is appreciated when I create the screencasts.

Of course, more is usually better in the computing world so an i7 processor with 8GB or more of RAM would make the video editing work go even faster but the battery-life on such a tablet beast would probably be 5 minutes and would likely melt in your hands. There is a reason high-powered desktops have lots of air circulation and big fans for cooling.

I have also been experimenting with Ink2Go, a very affordable program that works only on the desktop-side of Windows 8 with a few caveats. Ink2Go is not fully compatible with Windows 8 but with a street price of $20 US Ink2Go is worthy of consideration for those on a budget.

For my video editing I have been using a combination of the Camtasia Studio and the free Microsoft Live Movie Maker video editing program. Editing videos is a time intensive tasks and rendering five to ten minute screencast usually takes about a 1:1 ratio time for encoding. That is, if I record a seven minute screencast it will usually render in under seven minutes using Live Movie Maker.

The Surface Pro will get warm as you edit videos and create screencasts. The i5 processor will heat up as it works overtime to process the video. This causes the back of the Surface Pro to become warm and a fan will kink on to help cool the processor. I usually have the keyboard cover on and flipped over the back so this is less noticeable.

Once I have the final MP4 or WMV file produced using Live Movie Maker I upload it to YouTube. That usually takes about 20 minutes for a 10 minute video as it takes time to upload the video, and then more time to process it once it has been uploaded to YouTube.

So, all-in-all the Surface Pro is a great solution for those wanting a tablet that has the muscles to produce screencasts and/or videos for the world to see if you post them on YouTube. What will you teach the world about today?

Surface Pro Rocks!

Day 28 – OneNote 2013 and the Surface Pro

30 Days of Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet
4/08/2013

Welcome to Day 28 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators.

In this post I will share my experiences with the full version of OneNote 2013. OneNote is one of the more underutilized programs in the Microsoft Office Suite of tools, but can quickly become a favorite if you take the time to explore its many benefits.

I am amazed at how few teachers and students know about OneNote. OneNote has been around since 2003. Many are familiar with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but few are aware of the power of OneNote for keeping track of everyday teaching and learning activities.

There is also a OneNote app available in the Windows Store but the OneNote app is severely limited in its functionality compared to the full version of OneNote 2013. The free app will do for basic tasks but I quickly outgrew it. If you have access to the full version I recommend it over the watered down modern app.

Since I have been using OneNote on my Samsung Ativ Tablet over the past three months ALL of my notebooks were available to me on the Surface Pro as soon as I signed in to my Microsoft Account!

Moving from a device-based paradigm to a user-based paradigm makes it much easier to manage multiple devices and the data we access via cloud services like SkyDrive.

The full version of OneNote comes standard with most versions of Microsoft Office including the teacher and student editions. I have provided a link to a blog posting and YouTube video of how a Physics teacher is using OneNote to share his classroom notes with students to give you a better idea of the possibilities. This blog posting gives you a better idea about the capabilities of OneNote.

http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-onenote/archive/2011/07/28/teaching-with-onenote-how-students-benefit.aspx

The video featured in this blog post was originally produced in 2011, The technology behind the Surface Pro has evolved making it an even better solution for note taking today. Since that time the Tablet PC form factor has evolved into the streamlined Surface Pro.

OneNote 2013 is also useful as a collaborative tool when used with SkyDrive. You can share OneNote notebooks with others including your students. One of the benefits of SkyDrive is that I can access Office web apps via a browser, this includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote documents that are stored on SkyDrive.

SkyDrive can also sync your notebooks to a Windows Phone so you can have access to all of your Notebooks at anytime. This has been very handy for me as I have been able to refer back to notes that I have taken whether I have the Surface Pro with me or only my mobile phone. If you do not have a Windows Phone you can login and use the web version of OneNote, all you need is a browser.

The digitizer Pen that comes standard with the Surface Pro is much different than a capacitive stylus that is often sold for use with iPads or Android tablets. The Surface Pro’s Pen is pressure sensitive with 1024 different pressure points that provides for much more control and accuracy than a finger can provide. This design is meant to replicate the way a real Pen works in that if you start drawing a line with a light touch and gradually apply pressure the line will get thicker as you apply more pressure. This makes for a much more realistic and natural writing experience.

The Surface Pro comes with a Wacom digitizer tablet and Pen that allows for digital inking. Yesterday, I demonstrated the artistic side of this tablet but the Pen is extremely useful for day-to-day note taking as well.

OneNote 2013 Rocks!

Day 27 – The Artistic Side of the Surface Pro Windows 8 Tablet: The Mighty Digital Pen

30 Days of Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet
4/07/2013

Welcome to Day 27 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators.

I have had a couple of inquiries about using the digital Pen with the Surface Pro. At the risk of embarrassing myself I have created a screencast to demonstrate the digital Pen in action. In this screencast I dust-off my artistic skills and attempt to draw a horse using the free Sketchbook Express Windows 8 app.

The Surface Pro uses Wacom digitizing tablet technology that many artists have come to love over the years. What is amazing is that this is built-in to the Surface Pro and is a great value.

I have used an external USB Wacom Bamboo tablet connected to a regular PC for a couple of years. The Bamboo tablet is very helpful when I create screencasts, especially screencasts that require freehand writing or drawing like those I do when I use Interactive Whiteboard programs.

The digital Pen on the Surface Pro blows everything else out of the water. Wow, just Wow! Other add-on tablets, like the Bamboo, require you to draw on a screenless slate. This requires a lot of eye to hand coordination and some are better than others at it.

There are other touchscreen options for PC’s like the Cintiq, but they are in the thousands of dollars costs and out of reach for the average user. The big advantage of the Surface Pro is that you are actually drawing on top of the screen with the digital Pen using the built-in Wacom digitizer!

This harkens back to the Tablet PC days and reminds me of that experience. The Tablet PC really was ahead of its time, too bad it did not catch on with educators as it had much to offer. All has not been lost as the Tablet PC research over the past decade has been infused into the Surface Pro making it an amazing device. The pressure sensitive digital Pen, handwriting recognition, touchscreen advancements, support for legacy applications, and new modern apps all combine into one of the best tablet experiences I have ever had while using a device for teaching and learning purposes.

The more I use the Surface Pro, the more I am impressed. It is one of the most versatile and creative devices I have ever used.

Until next time...

Day 26 – Ink2Go Screen Annotation for the Surface Pro Desktop

Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet
4/06/2013

Welcome to Day 26 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators.

This post is about a Windows 7 tool that I sometimes use to annotate items on the Desktop that I want to “draw” the eye to focus on when I am teaching. Ink2Go is affordable at only $20 and can serve to substitute for a Whiteboard and an added bonus adds a built-in screen recorder. This is a lot of functionality for the money in an easy to use tool.

Ink2Go works on Windows 8, sort of. The screen annotation tools works fine on the Desktop side of Windows 8 but does not work well on the modern Start Screen side. If I want to annotate on top of webpages I need to make sure I am using the Desktop version of IE and not the modern IE. This can get confusing but once you understand the difference you can easily adjust.

The webcam tool of Ink2Go also does not work properly on Windows 8. Since the Surface Pro has two webcams, one front and one on back, the Ink2Go software chooses the back camera and I cannot change it to the front camera.

So, with those two big caveats why am I spending my time with Ink2Go on the Surface Pro? The first reason is the digital Pen that comes with the Surface Pro works well on the Desktop side and is easy to use with the Ink2Go toolbar. It is very easy to use.

Ink2Go
http://ink2.eyepowergames.com/

You can even freeze YouTube videos and annotate over them. Once you finish you can erase the ink annotations and continue. This is a great feature for coaches or science teachers wanting to freeze-frame something to analyze further.

The second reason to consider this program is that Ink2Go has a built-in screen recorder that does a good job for recording screencasts on the cheap. I have provided a quick screencast below made using the Surface Pro and the Ink2Go software. The sound quality is not great but is acceptable.

I do hope that Ink2Go will update their software so it is compatible with Windows 8, but for now I find enough value to continue using it.

Until next time...

Day 25 – USB Man to the Rescue

Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet

4/05/2013

Welcome to Day 25 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators. Today I will share one of the solutions I have found for the lonely USB port on the Surface Pro.

There are many times when I wished the Surface Pro had more than one USB port. At least this tablet gives you the option to use USB peripherals, unlike some other tablets on the market. Just having access to expandable USB storage is a HUGE benefit over other tablets.

The Surface Pro has one high-speed USB 3.0 port. There are many USB devices that come in handy in my daily workflow that I would like to use when needed. If something is already plugged into the USB port I have to remove it and plug in something else, inconvenient.

A couple of days ago I found myself in one of those situations. I recorded the “Surface Pro and Worldwide Telescope” screencast on the Surface Pro but I also had it connected to a Xbox wireless controller. This controller took up the only USB port and I wanted to load something else from a USB flash drive.

My cheap solution, USB Man. You can get USB Man or something similar for around $5 US. USB Man will take your existing USB Port and turn it into 4 USB ports! It is basically a splitter that expands the one USB port into four ports. The one I have is USB 2.0 so I do not get the benefit of the higher-speed USB 3.0. Sometimes I am willing to trade the speed for the convenience of more ports.

It may not work for USB devices that draw a lot of power but so far it has worked for me. Be careful not to overload the USB bus on the Surface Pro.

Below is a picture of the Surface Pro with my USB Man setup.

Here is a description of what is in the picture. The cable coming out of the head of USB man is connected to the Surface Pro’s only USB port. I have a Logitech USB headset plugged into the right foot of USB Man. The Surface Pro’s audio jack is only for playing audio out to headphones so you cannot plug a 3.5mm jack in for recording (I wish I could, it would allow me to take my line out of my mixer into the audio jack of the Surface Pro but audio-in is not supported). A workaround is to get a USB mixer, there goes another USB port.

I also have a Microsoft wireless mouse transceiver plugged into USB Man’s right hand that allows me to use the Arc mouse with the Surface Pro. This is very useful for Desktop applications where I need precise control. You will also notice in the picture that the digital Pen never strays far from my Surface Pro :)

This leaves two open USB ports possibly for a USB flash drive or my ScreenBeam video transmitter to wirelessly project the Surface Pro’s screen to the big screen.

Granted, with all these things plugged-in the Surface Pro is not very portable, but sometimes you need the “extras” to get some work done.

Not bad for a $5 solution, but there are other more expensive solutions as well. Docking stations are available to plug the Surface Pro in to and we have a couple working with the Surface Pro here at EIU. The price ranges from $80 on the lower end up to $200 for docking stations that support high-resolution dual-screen monitors, USB 3.0 ports, and 1GB RJ-45 LAN jack.

A docking solution can basically turn your Surface Pro into a traditional PC by connecting it to a large monitor via a USB cable to use in your office. When you want to be mobile again just unplug the USB cable and you can take the Surface Pro with you to meetings.

Until next time...

Day 24 – Making Music with the Surface Pro Windows 8 Tablet

Teaching and Learning with a Windows 8 Tablet
4/04/2013

Welcome to Day 24 of working with a Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet for educators. Today I will demonstrate the versatility of the Surface Pro by creating an original musical composition using the Acoustica Mixcraft program.

The barriers to entry for any digital creative activity have once again been lowered by the Surface Pro.

Today, it is often our imagination that holds us back from creating amazing digital works. The tools are here, it is what we choose to do with them that matters. I always get a kick out of people that put artificial limitations on PC’s. I often get the reaction of “I didn’t know you could do that on a PC”. Yes, yes you can, it just takes a little time and your imagination.

Below is a screencast that I created using the Surface Pro with a short demo of the Mixcraft music program. This screencast barely touches the “surface” (sorry, couldn’t resist, …again) of what is possible using the Surface Pro to make musical compositions.

The Acoustica Mixcraft program has a street price around $50 - $80 US and is basically a music studio in a box. Version 6 is compatible with Windows 8 and works great on the Surface Pro. If you are into creating your own music Mixcraft is for you. You can use the music you create with your school projects and not have to worry about copyright issues. If you buy in volume there are substantial discounts for quantity purchases as well.

The first loop-based music programs came to market in the late 1990’s for the PC. Sony’s Acid Music was an early pioneer and is still available today. Acid is a little more sophisticated program and is targeted at professional musicians.

Mixcraft, in my opinion, is a better choice for aspiring musicians as it is easy to learn and use. Don’t be mistaken though, Mixcraft can be used to create professional level recordings.

Update: April 9, 2013
I found this Music Teachers Guide that is a very good overview of Mixcraft Version 6 for use with students. http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/v6guide.htm

I recommend that you use a mouse with the Mixcraft program on the Surface Pro as the Mixcraft program utilizes the traditional desktop interface and the screen is packed with options. Many of the controls are small so I often use the digital Pen that came with the Surface Pro to make selections.

You might also consider changing the resolution of the Surface Pro display from 1920x1080 to 1368x766, this makes the interface appear a little larger on the Desktop screen. A second monitor might also be a solution by using the Surface Pro’s display port.

When I use the loop-based portion of Mixcraft I think about “painting music” using the digital Pen. I use the digital Pen to paint musical measures by pressing and dragging the Pen across the screen as you will see in the screencast.

Since the Surface Pro is a hybrid device, the dual-personality of the modern interface and the desktop interface gives you access to the best of both worlds. Until the developers catch-up with the newly designed modern interface we have the luxury of using most of the existing applications that bridge this divide, backward compatibility is appreciated.

The modern Start Screen interface is designed with a touch-first experience using large touch targets for new apps. There are however, millions of legacy programs, like Mixcraft, that still work with the Surface Pro, thanks to the backward Desktop compatibility.

I do not worry much by comments from the techno-blogosphere stating there are “only” 50,000 plus apps in the Windows 8 app store. That’s more than enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life. I focus on getting things done and I have yet to run into a situation where I cannot find a solution either “old school” or “new school” for completing the major work that I do day-to-day with the Surface Pro.

To get an idea of what Mixcraft music creation program can do please watch and listen to the screencast demo posted above.

Until next time...
