Samsung Tablets

Digital learning is becoming increasingly important in the education sector. Over the last few years, many schools have increased their student computing initiatives, acquiring a tablet for each student. Chromebooks and other laptops are popular choices for education, but tablets provide a more adaptable alternative. The following are five advantages of using tablets for digital learning:

Extra portable, with just as much storage.

Tablet computers are smaller and lighter than laptop computers, making them easier to manage and transport, particularly for younger children. It feels more like holding a book or a huge smartphone than a computer, despite the fact that many tablets offer the same amount of storage as Chromebooks. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G, for example, has 64GB or 128GB of internal storage as well as the option of adding a 1TB microSD card making it ideal for your customers in the educational sector.

No longer reliant on Wi-Fi.

Schools around the country are wrestling with the challenge of connecting pupils who do not have reliable home Wi-Fi access. One approach is to employ tablets with LTE connectivity, which eliminates the need for students to rely on Wi-Fi.

Touchscreens and digital pens are appealing to tactile learners.

A tablet’s design revolves around its touchscreen. It’s designed to be tactilely engaging, making it ideal for younger kids who learn best when all of their senses are engaged. Some tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, include a stylus or digital pen. Students can use the pen to annotate projects, sketch ideas and artwork, and write handwritten notes.

They create an intuitive e-textbook experience.

Reading on a tablet is comparable to reading a physical book for students who use digital textbooks. Students may curl up on the couch, swipe to turn pages, and take notes using the stylus. Lightweight tablets are ideal for reading, and they can transmit multimedia components of digital textbooks including music and video. There are a plethora of free and paid learning apps available for the Android operating system, making it simple to supplement digital curricula with games and other interactive assignments – all on the same device.

They can be utilised in the same way that traditional computers are.

Tablets may easily be converted to a classic computing setup with the addition of a keyboard and mouse, either cable or wireless. Students can utilise Google Workspace programmes like Google Slides and Google Docs to perform almost anything they would do on a laptop or desktop computer, such as type essays and create slideshow presentations. Students who want the portability of reading textbooks on a tablet, yet require the keyboard and software capabilities of a laptop will appreciate this adaptability. Some schools prefer to supply tablets to their younger children and then add a keyboard and mouse as students begin to learn to type.

Several Samsung tablets, notably the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, have the option of connecting to a monitor to power a full desktop experience with Samsung DeX.

Device management must be considered for any student computer initiative. When kids bring devices home, your customers need a way to track where the devices are and how students are using them. You may adjust settings on all student devices, deploy apps, track device location, and restrict access to certain apps using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system like Knox Manage to help students avoid distractions and stay on track. Your customers can also remotely troubleshoot device difficulties and even take control of the device to resolve a problem, allowing students to return to learning as quickly as possible.

More than elementary

Because most younger students have not yet learned keyboarding and other advanced computer skills, digital learning presents unique problems. Tablets assist in bridging this gap for the youngest students. However, because of their versatility and portability, tablets are also a fantastic alternative for older kids, especially since the majority of today’s high school students possess smartphones and are already extremely familiar with the touchscreen interface.
