This is a really good tool for those who are not very organized. It is light, portable which takes the place of a planner and trying to find a pen to jot down ideas. It offers the ability to research information on-the-spot which is key to anyone who tends to forget quickly. It helps to expand visual and audio communication with the use of applications such as a camera, microphone and google cabilities. For students of all levels it is a multi-tasking tool; a library, classroom-ready applications and allows for younger children to improve their research and typing capabilities. For students who are learning disabled, it is more visually enticing and stimulating for the focus challenged. For the emotionally disturbed, this can be used to aid their focus which allows them to be proactive, engaged and this controls their behavior. Also, the information that is produced in this setting can be recorded and saved for future retrieval.
