Honors Tablet Page

First off, I'd like to invite you to preview what students will be creating next spring (an Android Application). I created one to help them review the first semester.

Parents and students be aware that it is my intention to send home the tablets for much of the fourth quarter. Students will be required to bring them home and to school on a daily basis. The protective covers are pretty sturdy, though nothing will stand up to recklessness. I will be training students (briefly) about the care and maintenance of the tablets. I'll also be sending home a signed permission slip with parents. I can "lock" certain applications on the tablet to create a more restrictive environment if you are concerned about student home use.

There is also going to be an information night for any parents and students that want to attend and learn more about how to monitor the tablets. The tentative date is for the Wednesday before Spring Break.
