Fact #1. While the tablet computer might seem like a futuristic device, its roots go all the way back to just after the turn of the 20th century. A device that was able to create text by analyzing handwriting motions was patented in 1915. It was used primarily for copying and typesetting. The invention didn't exactly set the world on fire, howoever. No further tablet-like devices were created until 1956.
Fact #2. Science fiction writers were able to see the potential in such a machine. Authors like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke featured tablets in their writings. The TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation also depicted use of the technology, making tablets look impossibly advanced. Steve Jobs was also an early proponent.
Fact #3. Laptops and hand-held computers have been commonplace on college campuses for years. Tablet technology has recently begun making its way into high schools, as well. Even elementary students are being exposed to mobile technology in educational settings. They're responding quite favorably.
Fact #4. The most obvious benefit of these devices is cost. Buying a tablet is a one-time purchase. The information is constantly updated and kept current. Your child will never waste time learning outdated facts. Eliminating books also reduces the physical toll that lugging around all that knowledge in a backpack takes on young spines. With one lightweight device, you can have a world of knowledge at your fingertips.
Fact #5. Regardless of what tablet you choose, you'll likely soon find that you can't live without your new toy. They can revolutionize the educational experience and make learning more engaging and interactive. However, they'll never be able to replace textbooks in one important metric: drawing mustaches on historical figures.
