Abstract | A year ago, only a handful of K-12 schools and universities had integrated tablets into their curricula. Today, not one week passes with out another iPad rollout announcement. The reasons that schools use tablets are as varied as the schools themselves. Hawaii Preparatory Academy uses iPads to encourage budding physicists, linguists, and astronomers through interactivity; a K-12 school in Glasgow, Scotland, adopted iPads to decrease the weight of school backpacks. Outside the K-12 classroom, savvy college and university administrators recognize the technological appeal--and lower cost--of digital textbooks as a terrific way to attract talented freshmen. In this article, the author discusses the hidden costs of tablets, and considers the third-party warranty coverage for tablets. As districts implement 1:1 computing, third-party extended warranty providers help them protect their investments. (ERIC). |
