Schools these days are starting to incorporate the use of tablets in the classroom. This is because kids these days are more familiar with tablets as their parents probably own them back at home as well. That and the fact that tablets allow for more interactive learning and also cuts down on the need to lug around heavy textbooks. Well it looks like Panasonic is getting into the education game as they have recently unveiled their new Panasonic 3E hybrid Windows tablet designed for education in mind. This means that the tablet will come with educational features, such as a magnifying lens that will turn the tablet into a microscope, a temperature sensor, along with education apps and lesson plans bundled by Intel.
Panasonic has today unveiled a new “3E” hybrid Windows tablet for the education sector. The 10-inch tablet will be priced at $499 and will be offered to poorer school districts at more affordable pricing. What’s neat about this product is what Panasonic has chosen to include when it comes to extended functionality, including an attachable magnifying lens to transform the 3E tablet into a microscope. Accompanying the attachable lens is a temperature sensor, a 1366 x 768 LCD five-point touch display, 1.3-GHz Intel Atom AZ3740D quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, as well as either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. The 3E is powered by Windows 8.1 Pro. There’s also a tethered stylus for OneNote drawing and the creation of general notes. It’s a rugged unit, much like the FZ-E1. Panasonic designed the tablet for the day-to-day operation in a classroom. The tablet itself sports not only dust and water resistance, but also the ability to withstand a 70cm drop. Intel has bundled a suite of educational software and lesson plans to facilitate student learning. Overall, it’s a neat tablet to learn with. The tech company is also working with Redmond on enterprise hardware.
