The Technology of Tablets

As my own eyes decline into old age, I can read comfortably by changing the "book" to match my personal needs. Not only can some e-readers read the text in a book aloud, it can be done privately via headphones or in a shared way among parent and child or teacher and pupil." Abram has researched the trends and the use of tablets in comparison with the use of physical books. His conclusions show the positive impact that tablets would have on students' education and learning. He says, "Finding highlighted and useful passages and bookmarks can allow students and researchers to save time and perform better." These are customizable features that can be beneficial. Tablets do not distract, but rather help the student. A much more significant distraction would be a cracked screen. .
             Students cannot use broken tablets. High-quality tablets are made with fragile glass screens. These screens can be broken easily and accidents happen all the time. Leah Levy, Managing Editor and learning specialist at Edudemic explains these problems in detail " Tablets are increasingly lightweight and ultra-thin, lending to their fragile image. They are used daily, for long periods of time, and transported between classes If a tablet lands on a corner or on its front, the glass will crack and the tablet will become unusable – requiring repair or replacement (both expensive)." Because tablets are fragile, they are impractical. Instead of learning, the students would be waiting for replacements and repairs. Is there a practical way to protect a tablet? .
             Hard cases are available for tablets. These are fitted to protect the edges and corners. This is important for protecting the entire tablet including the screen. As Leah Levy explains, "The better solution is to invest in a hard cases (preferably one made out of rugged grooved rubber)." This a cheap and easy solution to protect an expensive piece of technology.
