The tablet facilitates personalised and interactive learning in the classroom. The software enables testing students problem-solving, creativity and application of language skills. It is for students from class II onwards.
With a touch screen, seven-hour battery life, 1.3 Ghz processing speed, a built-in memory of 4 GB expandable up to 8 GB, the classpad is available in two models trolley model for multiple-student usage in the classroom and one tablet per child (OTPC) model, which students can carry home.
Launching the tablet on December 29, 2011, Pande said, When we started out we wanted to focus on webbased education, which eventually failed. After working on various interactive learning programmes in the last two years, we finally came out with our innovation classpad.
With the launch, 22 schools across the country have tiedup for the installation of the device, including Fr Agnel School, Delhi, SSB Bangalore, and Centre Point School, Nagpur.
The tablet is available in three sizes seven, eight and 10 inches and costs between Rs 7,500 and 14,000. However, the tablet is not available for retail sale yet, it is available only for schools.
Setting up his own venture as CEO of Classteacher Learning Systems in 2000, Pande along with Sameer Buti, his former classmate at IIT, decided on taking education to a different level through designing programmes for personalised education.
Since our education system does not differentiate students according to their learning capabilities, the tablet will enable teachers to categorise students as fast learners, average learners and slow learners, concludes Pande. source-timesofindia.indiatimes.com
