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.
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?
