The Power of the Pen: Next-Generation Tablets for the Classroom

Tablets have rapidly emerged as a powerful new learning platform in the K-12 classroom. With the ever-growing choices for educational apps, many schools who have adopted these touch screen slates are reporting impressive results in terms of improved student participation and innovative new learning opportunities.View Now

Although tablets have proven to be beneficial, several key tradeoffs with the current generation of tablet devices have surfaced. While tablets are ideal for consuming media, teachers have noted that they would like more ways for students to write and work creatively on their tablets. Tablets to-date have also been limited in their multitasking functionality creating problems for students that have grown accustomed to running numerous applications simultaneously.

The unveiling of Samsung's GALAXY Note 10.1—with its advanced S-Pen and multitasking capabilities—signals a new generation of tablets that open even greater opportunities for empowering teachers and engaging students in the K-12 classroom.
