In 2005, Diablo Valley College (DVC) received an HP Technology for Teaching grant to enhance the Calculus II curriculum using mobile technology. As part of that effort, Calculus students at DVC are using Tablet PCs to record data in science labs and  to work on collaborative projects that provide evidence of
the calculus theory.  Because the Tablet is so readily portable and convertible, students directly record data in Excel spreadsheets while conducting the experiments.  That simplifies the work and makes the data collection more relevant as some basic calculations can be done instantly at the lab.
