  • The primary computer for most users today is not a PC; it's a phone.
  • What we used to call a tablet was just a laptop with a screen that swiveled around and folded back, yielding a bulky machine that was uncomfortable to carry as a slate and awkward to use as a laptop. That unsatisfactory hybrid was simply where the state of technology took us in previous efforts to create "tablet" or
  • "slate" computers.

  • In fact, the iPad altered everything we thought we knew about tablets, and other hardware manufacturers are following up on Apple's success quickly.
  • Today's tablet is exactly what the name implies: a thin slab, dominated by its screen
  • The software for tablets has changed, as well. Instead of struggling to run a full-fledged version of Windows, which requires a significant amount of processing power and isn't optimized for use with a touchscreen, most new tablet models released nowadays run a relatively lightweight, touchscreen-focused mobile operating system such as Apple iOS or Google Android.
  • We need a device that bridges the gap between what PCs do and what mobile phones do. That device has arrived. Welcome to the age of the tablet

      Such a thoughtful and intelligent idea: Bringing solar powered ipads to third world countries for learning
  • 'School Box' which will take iPads to the most remote rural schools - using solar power and micro projectors we will be able to bring computerised teaching aids to the poorest schools
  • "I hope we will get the first pilot programmes started early next year. If we can get it to work in Zimbabwe, I am sure it will spread to the poor schools throughout Africa - and beyond".
  • Elena Ares on 16 Mar 12
     
    Using iPads to help students in third world countries to learn. This is such a good idea so that way the children are able to learn with apps and also can learn to read with this.

  • But for ancillary materials—all of the research and items that go with the textbook—students prefer digital,"
  • Hall recalls this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where he had to meet with employees and be accessible to clients on the trade room floor. He had a case study to read, but an open laptop would have been rude and standoffish, he says.
  • Although students could take notes, highlight, and use a dictionary function, some said they were frustrated by the Kindle’s file management system and by an inability to easily skip back and forth between text and exhibits at the end. That’s a far bigger problem when dealing with dozens of case studies—which have numerous exhibits—than with a handful of text books.

      The campus was dead and the tour guide shows off what normally goes on here during a busy time.
  • It is believed to be the first school to use the tablet technology in this way, though students are using iPads in class and some campuses are providing them free to freshmen. Bradley's admissions office is piloting their use, and have tested them on about 20 of 160 tours during the past 21/2 months.
  • The technology works like this: The Bradley tour guide has 10 videos on his iPad, and when he loads one during a tour, it triggers the video to play on the iPads carried by the prospective students. When videos aren't playing, a campus map is displayed on the screen
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Ferolo's academic research looks into how people use mobile devices in their everyday lives and how the technology affects their experiences. "If people are physically here, the video content becomes more relevant to them. I believe there is a higher engagement in that tour," he said.
  • Stacy Bernstein, 17, a high school senior who was visiting Bradley from St. Louis, said the videos provided insight that she didn't get by staring at limestone buildings.

    South Koreans realize that technology doesn't always bring progress. Not going as ebook as planned according to this washington post article. "But South Korea, among the world's most wired nations, has also seen its plan to digitize elementary, middle and high school classrooms by 2015 collide with a trend it didn't anticipate: Education leaders here worry that digital devices are too pervasive and that this young generation of tablet-carrying, smartphone-obsessed students might benefit from less exposure to gadgets, not more. Those concerns have caused South Korea to pin back the ambition of the project, which is in a trial stage at about 50 schools. Now, the full rollout won't be a revolution: Classes will use digital textbooks alongside paper textbooks, not instead of them. First- and second-graders, government officials say, probably won't use the gadgets at all."

    A community of writers and scientists are reviewing and discussing scientific ebooks at Download the Universe. eBooks aren't where they are going to be. I'm toying with the idea of producing my own ebook after this next project because I haven't really seen what I think is possible in an ebook but have already storyboarded my own private thoughts in this area. This is a fascinating once in history experience to be part of a major trend as books evolve from paper to ebook. I'm excited! Take a look. "e-readers have opened up a period of great innovation in how we convey and consume "books," but, as of yet, these new products have not met with the sorts of rigorous and routine reviews that new printed books receive. But a new project, Download the Universe, aims to change that. Led by a set of some of the top science writers in the country -- including Carl Zimmer, Steve Silberman, and Atlantic contributor David Dobbs -- the site aims to provide reviews of new straight-to-ebook science books."
