If it’s one thing I can appreciate most, it’s using technology in and for an educational milieu. Over the years I can admit that having a smartphone within arms reach has increased my knowledge exponentially by always having pertinent information at my finger tips. It’s nice to note that companies like Brainchild feel the same way. Today, at the Florida Educational Technology Conference, Brainchild introduced the Kineo, a 7″ Android tablet that is geared towards educating our youth with today’s tablet technology. The device sports an 800 x 480 touchscreen, 800 MHz processor, 2GB of storage along with WiFi and HDMI out support. Hit the break for more info, pics and a video.
The Kineo is completely geared for use in the classroom and comes with security features which prevent a child from accessing inappropriate websites. Jeff Cameron, president of Brainchild states “Learning devices need to enhance instruction, not be a distraction.” I couldn’t agree more. He also goes on to say “with over 15 years of experience in developing handhelds and software for schools, we know how to make a tablet device suited to a teacher’s needs for individualized instruction.”
We applaud Brainchild’s efforts here and hope to see many more companies jump on board with campaigns like this one. Check out the video of the device in action. Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.
