Amplify, the education division at News Corp., revealed
its new education tablet today. The tablet, starting at $299, comes preloaded with virtually everything a student in a K-12 classroom would need during a typical
school day. This includes all of the textbooks, lessons, tests, and e-books that may be assigned by their teacher.
In regards to teachers, the Amplify tablet will provide them with the ability to both monitor and control what students do through the teacher dashboard. The teachers are able to take instant polls, ask kids to "raise their hands" virtually, and refocus the entire class with an "Eyes on Teacher" button that instantly sends the message out to every connected tablet's screen.
Educational technology, specifically tablets such as Amplify's, holds the possibility of making schools more efficient, friendly, and a personalized place for kids!
