I'm glad that you included a suggestion on a type of assignment that could be done with this. A lot of theorists happily put forth their theory without a concrete suggestion on how to implement it, and I find that sort of a "cop out."
The concept itself is very intriguing, and I found myself envisioning my students using this sort of technology, as I did with Dan's presentation, too. With the new "laptop initiative" that my college is implementing this year (every student has to own a laptop), I'm expecting several of them to obtain tablets instead of laptops. This type of pedagogical approach could really tie in nicely with that initiative.
VERY interesting, Rich!
