Surface Pro 3: All You Need?

 This is supposedly (and by supposedly, I mean Microsoft says so), the tablet that can replace everything and be your all in one ideal computer. And that's because now it has also added an official Microsoft Docking station. Part of this setup is that you are also docking it along with a giant display to go along with it that it will now display on. This new dock is something that has come a long way in a short amount of time since the last generation of the Surface.




The new dock gets you much more you can connect to than the old Surface. Some of the ports now available to you will be two USB 2 ports along with three USB 3 ports. There is also an extra USB 3 port to now make there a sum of six available USB ports. Also to be found is now a new Gigabit Ethernet port which is a huge upgrade from the older docking station.


Now of course, the main feature of this new docking station is going to be the Mini Display Port video output. This allows you to always connect an external monitor to use instantly right after the docking of your Surface Pro tablet. You can also snap in your Surface pen on the side and store it there with a conveniently magnetized side. The Surface pen is something else that people don't talk about much but that really sets it apart from the competition.


To set up the dock, very easy. Just put in place the AC power connector, the wired keyboard, mouse and whatever external hard drive you have then snap in the Ethernet cable for wired access if necessary. Once this easy setup is taken care of, you can easily transform the new Surface into a fully functioning desktop PC just by snapping it into the dock and making sure it is in there nice and firm. From here, you can choose to use it with the second screen only option or leave it so that both the Surface screen and the bigger screen are both on at the same time. There may be some scaling issues you need to adjust based on the bigger display screen but once you get that set up you should be good to go. Now with a bigger screen the Surface is pretty much everything you could want as long as you are not running any hardcore software on it, then there may be a need to do a little bit more testing before you commit.


Add all this up together and you have a great way to avoid the disadvantages of worrying about syncing up apps, setting, and things such as data files. You will now know where everything is and how everything is set up because it will be on one device. Overall, if you like the Surface as a tablet and laptop combination, the capability to change it into a full-scale desktop PC may be all the difference you need to tip the scales in the Surface's favor if you are on the lookout for a new laptop or tablet.

Technology in E-Learning

Image
 A couple of months ago I registered for a webinar on Web 2.0 in E-Learning. It was hosted by the ASTD, the American society for training and development with two guest speakers from renowned universities . The day of the event I signed in and waited for the webinar to begin; however it all played out differently than anyone had expected. Initially the audience was not able to understand the organizers of the webinar: There was way too much static. After ten minutes of configuration on the ASTD side, the problem had been resolved, the hosts apologized for the inconvenience and we were assured that the system had been tested the night before and everything used to work. Once the guest speakers were introduced and control was handed over to the first presenter, the same problem manifested itself all over again: The audience was not able to understand a single word and in the end it was decided to postpone the session. Around 40 people had just wasted half an hour of their valuable t...
