Immediately we can look on here and find out are students getting what they’re supposed to be getting; what are their questions; what can we do to help them get it before its too late. We don’t want to move on before they’ve mastered the material," said Melissa Tatum, one of more than 900 teachers who received training on the 7 inch android tablet this summer.Guilford County won a $30 million federal grant to provide tablets to every middle school student in the district. 13,000 students get them this month and another 4,000 get them next year.All of the tablets were programmed by Amplify, a private company that has done more than a dozen pilot tablet programs throughout the country.

One of the largest classroom technology initiatives in U.S. history is underway in Guilford County. This week middle school students can begin picking up their tablets for sale computers and get comfortable with the devices prior to the start of classes.Teachers have been learning the ins and outs of these Android-based tablets all summer.The tablet looks compact, much like a 6 inch smartphone.

Ingram Micro CEO Alain Monie was asked about the impact of declining tablet sales on the Ingram’s business and the analysts queried whether Ingram was de-emphasising the tablet market because of the lower margins it provided.Not so, according to Monie.”And in the past, we've mentioned that tablets came with lower margins but acceptable returns. So we didn't really take any specific decision to do less.”
