14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft's Surface tablets are starting to pick up, with more and more organizations across the world choosing these devices to perform their daily activities, regardless of whether we are talking about the RT or the Pro models.
The St. Thomas School is one of the latest schools that adopted Microsoft's Surface tablets to make teaching easier, with representatives explaining that both the Surface and the Surface Pro would be used for personalized learning in 2nd and 3rd grade classes.
“The one-to-one program has given the school more than we ever anticipated,” says Kimberly Mecham, director of Information and Communication Technology at St. Thomas School. “It's really allowed us to personalize learning in second grade through innovative and differentiated ways, and to enhance project-learning in third grade with the mobility and interactivity of the tablets.”
Microsoft Surface is the first tablet model launched by Redmond and was initially called Surface RT. It comes with an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, a 10.6-inch processor, up to 64 GB of storage space and runs Windows RT, which can be upgraded to Windows RT 8.1 Update.
The Surface RT was launched in October 2012 together with the new Windows 8 operating system, while the Surface Pro came to be in February 2013 and was the first Microsoft tablet running the full version of Redmond's modern platform.
