[OPLINLIST] Tablet Questions

[Joe]

This isn't helpful advice one way or another on a particular tablet, 
however, is the school integrating them as in having them for teachers 
and having a few in each classroom or assigning one to each student?

If they are assigning them to the students, I would be tempted to get at 
least one of the same make as the school is getting and having the 
frontline staff train on using that tablet so that they have some 
familiarity if/when a student (or their parent) comes in with a question 
about how to do something with their device..

Have a good weekend.

(I too like the yellow legal tablet, but I'm too cheap for Mead and use 
generic.... )
