2.  What has made the tablet so successful is its compact size, in addition to the ease of working with a touchscreen interface. More than anything, users have tablets to surf the web, check email, and to use media. For someone in the market for a tablet, it is important to know what to look for, including which options are essential and which ones a person can live without.

3.  Operating System Probably the most important consideration when looking for a tablet is the operating system (OS). There are four basic operating systems in use.  Apple’s Ios  Google Android  Microsoft Windows  BlackBerry  Memory Tablets come with internal memory ranging anywhere from 1 GB to 500 GB. While many tablets have a slot for adding a MicroSD card to expand the memory, the internal memory is not changeable. Keep in mind that a device with limited memory is going to limit the ability to store photos, songs, videos, and other large files or applications.MicroSD card  Screen Size & Resolution Tablets come in sizes ranging from 5 inches to 12 inches. The smaller tablets are essentially large smartphones. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images appear. If using the tablet for watching HD movies, a minimum resolution of 720 pixels across the shorter dimension is necessary.

4.  Wireless Connectivity Virtually all tablets have some wireless capability, which usually means being Wi-Fi capable. However, there are two versions of Wi-Fi. Some tablets only support the 802.11b/g specification. For streaming a lot of video and downloading large items, this may not be adequate. If those activities are part of the intended use, it is best to buy a tablet that is compatible with the 0802.11n specification. A tablet that supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands provides the most complete Wi-Fi connectivity.  Camera Most tablets come with one or two cameras. With two, one is to use the tablet as a camera and the other is the webcam, or front-facing camera. However, when looking at a tablet with only one camera, know where the camera is located, whether on the back or front of the device.

5.  Speakers While most tablet owners use headphones, there are times when it is necessary to use the internal tablet speakers. These speakers are tiny, so they are not going to produce a big speaker sound.headphones  Inputs and Outputs Tablet computers are not intended to provide a lot of connectivity to the outside world, except through wireless connections. Nevertheless, many come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB port. In addition, some manufacturers provide a docking port for connection to keyboards and docking stations.  Battery Life As tablets are portable units, tablet battery life is extremely important. Three things affect tablet battery life: size of the battery, brightness of the screen backlight, and amount of time the tablet is on.

8.  ArtRage* is a painting and drawing application that simulates real-world materials to enable students to easily create sophisticated digital artwork. Because it is intuitive to use, students can spend more time nurturing their inner Picasso than laboring to learn a complex program. Features and Benefits Sophisticated functionality simulates real-world art tools. Easy-to-use and intuitive interface. Powerful tools unlock students’ creativity. Useful at all grade levels—students can start at the finger- painting level and build sophistication. Inexpensive—with no recurring supply costs, teachers can afford to engage encourage students’ artistic endeavors, even as many art programs are being underfunded or cut. Students can use the tool to illustrate their writing or draw diagrams for reports. Require zero set-up and clean-up time.

17. A science exploration application that enables students to carry out scientific observations and measurements using the laptop or tablet’s built- in camera. Lab Camera* promotes scientific inquiry and makes abstract concepts tangible for students. It provides a cost-effective way to enhance STEM curriculum.

18. Value for Schools  Enhances project-based learning, an ideal complement to STEM curriculum  Reduces the need for expensive lab equipment Tools work across several science disciplines, such as biology, life science, chemistry, physics, etc. Value for Students  Engagement; fosters deep understanding of scientific principles and phenomena with modern digital tools Anytime anywhere access to science tools built into the students’ device Value for Teachers Enhances project-based learning in science disciplines Develops higher-order skills such as investigation, drawing conclusions, collaboration, analysis, problem solving, deductive reasoning With six tools built into one application, educators can save time managing and distributing probes and peripherals during valuable class time

19.  LAB CAMERA TOOLS  Time lapse cam: Record nature’s slow processes.  Kinematics: Track and graph horizontal and vertical movement.  Microscope: Explore the world through size and distance.  Pathfinder: Discover invisible paths and detect patterns.  Motion cam: Record movement in targeted areas.  Universal logger: Digitize any instrument that has a digital, radial-dial, or fluidbased display.

20.  SPARKvue allows students to collect, evaluate, and analyze data interactively, while increasing problem-solving and critical- thinking skills.  The application makes use of devices’ built- in cameras and sensors to collect data. As the data is collected, the application visually represents the data in a graph, table, meter, or digital display—making science and math concepts come to life.

21.  The application comes with a number of pre- configured lab experiments with instructions to make it easy for educators to get started.  Sparkvue promotes student learning at school and following objectives to improve teaching and learning: Elementary School: Reading Literature Middle School: Literacy High School: Probability and Statistics
