Tablet PCs benefit students by providing flexible, portable technology. K-12 students develop literacy, critical thinking and interactive skills. Teachers benefit from novel ways of presenting content and actively engaging students in the learning process.
Functionality
Tablet PCs enable users to draw and use handwriting---instead of using a computer keyboard, teachers and students write on the tablet.
Flexibility
Tablet PCs have powerful features in a small, compact unit. The tablet PC can later be attached to a desktop computer or other peripherals, such as a keyboard, printer or digital camera.
Homework
Middle and high school students learning mathematics, sciences or language arts can use a tablet PC to work out the solutions to problems or questions posed by the teacher. Students can save their work to review and practice at home.
Interactive Content
Teachers may present to elementary students multimedia-rich, interactive content using a tablet PC. The teacher can connect the tablet PC to an LCD projector, so that the entire class sees and participates in the lesson.
Convenience
Teachers who share classrooms or travel from one class to another would appreciate the ease of carrying a tablet PC, instead of rolling a cart.
