dc.description	Networked one-on-one computing in educational setting opens a wide array of possibilities for more interactive and more dynamic instructional methodologies. We explore and analyze options offered toward that end by pen-enabled computers associated with DyKnow software. Pedagogies supported and driven by this technology include collaborative note taking, group problem solving, multiple channels of real-time feedback, classroom-wide interaction/content sharing and options for after-class activities etc.. DyKnow software (www.dyknow.com) is primarily designed for face-to-face instruction and pen enabled computers such as Tablet PCs but can be also used with laptops and desktops - with or without external pen input such as the Bamboo Tablet (www.wacom.com/bamboo). This web-based computer interaction also opens distance learning opportunities. We survey research results associated with implementations of this technology in several introductory physics settings.
