Recently, i see a lot of youngsters having fun playing games within their tablet no matter where they go. I'm thinking that this might be one of the best method of e-learning for them!
I did some search and found out the existing of tablets which is designed specifically for education purpose. These are some of them...
Aakash 2
The
Aakash 2 will feature an array of e-learning apps, some of which were
available on the original Aakash. To begin with, it will offer access
to the Sakshat educational portal which is designed to assist both
students and teachers. There’s a students' corner, a teacher’s corner, a
space to carry out discussions and also a knowledge plus segment that
offers ebooks, journals and study materials like Maps and free
translation. Pre-loaded apps include Yahoo!'s web portfolio and news
from Indian Express Group. GetJar provides access to over 350,000
software applications.

The tablet also includes Mango learning solutions for game-based
educational modules, interactive smart books and the full CBSE
curriculum. It features TestBag, the most comprehensive solution for
testing and e-assessment. Intelligia finger tracing apps have also been
included to teach letter writing to toddlers.
The other one is Micromax Funbook
Micromax Funbook
The
Funbook comes with several apps pre-installed, but on clicking on the
app and logging into the mStore, each of these apps shows a common
interface. The interface is neat and segregated into compartments for
Education, Games, Apps, Movies, Entertainment and Live TV. You will find
apps already embedded in each section; for instance, you will find the
Vriti e-learning app in the education section, about 13 games on
adventure, arcade and action in the gaming section, a Bollywood flick in
the movie section, entertainment apps like BigFlix, popular Hindi
music, and also Live TV, which features 48 TV channels.
Value for money..
The Vriti e-learning app allows access to more than 500 smart
courses ranging from Class 1 to Degree courses and even preparatory
material for the medical, engineering and MBA entrance exams. One has to
first register with Vriti and select the syllabus they wish to
download. You also get study materials, videos, multimedia, tests,
assessment, and even references from leading content brands like
Pearson, Everonn, GK Publishers, Scholarshub, Vidyalankar, Universal
Tutorials, CAPS, Zion and more. However, all this is available on a
trial basis and you will have to buy the courses if you want permanent
or extended usage. On the flipside, Vriti and some of the other content
it offers is also available on Google Play and is not something
exclusive to the Funbook.
What we liked was how well Micromax
has segregated these categories and then placed the content for easier
accessibility. Micromax has designed a nifty tablet by precisely picking
some cool apps that students may find useful and entertaining.
With the "tabletized" features, the e-learning process is going mobile and closer to everyone!
