Progress has been delayed temporarily due to the pressures of also being a class teacher. I have been snowed under with assessments and reports for a few weeks which have taken all of my attention.
Encouraging prices were received from Asus regarding their VivoTab which we are looking to persue as a school, should the funds be available to do so and depending on whether Asus are able to develop a more rugged case than a simple sleeve as this would possibly be a little light weight for young children.
On other fronts, I have had a brief meeting with the people from RM regarding their RM Books and RM Unify products. I can see that if we were a secondary institution we would already be seriously tempted to use them. At the moment I believe the amount of suitable content falls short of what we might want in the Primary market but it sounds promising that there will soon be much more.
RM Unify looks like a good product from initial specs. I am due to have a look around using a temporary log on that I have been issued with. This is also on hold due to assessments but the idea of a software that links reading material, google docs and other sevices together with one app sounds like a nice plan, although I am sure it must not be quite that simple or it would have been done earlier.
