The Tablet in school is not very successful in the USA

The United States is one step to us from the technological point of view, it is not a surprise, but that does not always translate into a disadvantage. Our programs of digitization of information must take into account the fact that resulting unsatisfactory in the USA, pilot projects that do not lead to the desired results and predictable unexpected device as soon as they end up in the hands of children unwary.
School-Tablet-is-not-useful-in-USA

Among the examples we have cited the " Amplify ", which provides 73,000 Android tablet for the educational use of the same name, directed to children under 12 years (by a company of Rupert Murdoch). Much went inevitably damaged after a short time and the supply has been suspended, it does not take a genius to realize that at that age are necessary rugged-zed models, resistant to everything! Different speech instead for the program " iAchieve "carried out in Texas, 70,000 students provided the iPad have not reached the expected level of knowledge through the use of this digital program, now discontinued as ineffective.

A tile for the administration of Los Angeles that I put to spent $ 30 million for the purchase of iPad with Retina Display intended to 300,000 students around the district, a budget issue that has already created quite a few problems since it was paid $ 700. The next problem is called security , because among this student population will not be hard to find the most capable and able to bypass firewall restrictions from, coming to unblock Facebook, YouTube and portals possibly even more inappropriate.


Not all schools will then support this crazy shopping, we think of Windows tablet much more economical at this time, even more functional in some cases. There are also positives in this whole affair, the idea of ​​one-to-one tablet makes it possible for students to take home the job, tasks to be accomplished using software dedicated to that theme, but at what price?
