This article talks about how the Kindle Fire is very suitable for education. It focuses on a few features. Some of them are the size, the price, and the Android based operating system. The author of this article really like that the Kindle Fire stays connected to Amazon's EC2 cloud. This allows the internet to work faster and to have better graphic with in the apps.
I had never thought about the size making that munch of a difference, but the author made a good point when he said that based on size the Kindle Fire would be good for elementary students because they could hold it better. The price is good, but I would not buy something based on price alone. I like that the internet can work faster than on other tablets.
No, schools have been "burned" before buying solely on price, but sometimes that is the way it goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking this one through.
