Design
Samsung has come up with its very first tablet dedicated to the elementary classrooms. The tablet is meant to be compatible to Samsung School (an upcoming project). The tablet can also integrate with Google Play for Education, a web-based console where educators can search by grade level subjects. There used to be a time when a single textbook used to dominate the yearlong learning process.
However, now teachers have ample options to teach students, those options are much more effective and interesting for the students to learn. The introduction of this tablet has changed the way of teaching. Samsung has efficiently managed to make the tablet a complement for the classroom and not at all a distraction. Suppose the teacher wants to teach surds in the class, she can search Google Play for Education and find the app of her choice. Teachers can also rank the apps based on their usefulness, so that others can also benefit.
