Infrared Ease
Just like your TV remote, you just point and press a button ... simple. After writing and revising text in the QuickPAD - it's time for your students to transfer their work to the Mac or PC. They simply open up any writing program, point their QuickPAD at the computer and press "Send File." Within seconds the file has been completely transferred and is ready for final formatting and printing. No software or cables to mess with!
Write Where You Are
The QuickPAD supports and enhances your writing and keyboarding program. This is an easy to use, convenient and durable word processor. Students write more and write often. They take the QuickPAD on fieldtrips, home, or anywhere writing takes place. Utilizing the power of the processor, they evaluate, analyze and revise their work. You and your students focus on content, not on deciphering handwriting.
Typing Tutor
Now every QuickPAD comes with a pre-installed Typing Tutor! Students learn proper keyboarding techniques in a fun, user-friendly format. This program challenges every skill level from beginner to advanced. Every time the student uses the Typing Tutor, the results of the lessons are automatically saved in their folder, making it much easier to monitor progress. At no additional cost, this program is an indispensable tool in today's classroom.
Additional Features
The Quickpad word processor is easy to use and also has built-in Word Prediction. In addition, Professional Mode, which can be enabled in the Utilities menu provides a telephone list manager and an appointment book.
Portfolio Filing System
Teachers asked for a filing system that was easy to use, but also one that offered flexibility and security. We are pleased to introduce the Portfolio Filing System. This filing system allows each student to have his or her own writing folder. Within their folder, students store their writing assignments by name. This allows students to work on a number of assignments or writing projects concurrently. With the Portfolio Filing System each student folder can be password protected, allowing students to share their QuickPAD with confidence. The files in their folder cannot be deleted, altered or plagiarized by any other student. This is particularly critical in Middle Schools and High Schools with period rotations as well as Elementary Schools when sharing QuickPADs among a number of classrooms.
