Amplify Tablets

Amplify's tablet is designed for education. With built-in bumpers and gorilla glass, this tablet should stand up to the test with young learners. There were some problems with a roll out in North Carolina last year. We are waiting to hear user reports from this year's roll out. Learning Management Software is available.

iPad

Lucky enough to have them, great! iPad is the high end of educational tablets. Easy to use, fairly durable when placed in cases, and very secure. Price can be a problem. But if you can afford them they are still the best in education.

iPad Air (Wifi only) 10 packs-$3,740.

That's $374 per device!

Chromebooks

If you are using Google Classroom then this may be a good choice. Cromebooks integrate very well with Google systems. Originally thought to have limited capabilities, the scope of what the device can accomplish has grown over the last few years.

ASUS

Good tablet that uses Android. Not specifically designed for student use, these tablets need great cases.

There may be better prices on bulk purchases. We're searching!

Samsung

Great thing about this tablet is that it can be used with a larger network of classroom tools: interactive classroom screen, student clickers, learning management software. It's a large endeavor but if you have someone on your team to help you implement the system, the results have been promising.

Surface

Good tablet. Easy to use, great battery, awesome specifications. One problem: price. If Microsoft can find a way to make the Surface more cost effective for schools, they could become a much more appealing choice.
