T+L² 2005 -- Hardware
In the T+L² exhibit hall, hundreds
of educational technology companies were on hand to demonstrate
the latest products and services for use in schools. Here's
a look at some of the innovations on display in the hardware
category this year:
Fourier Systems introduced
the Nova5000, a new one-to-one computing device that attempts
to "bridge the gap between the cost-prohibitive laptop
and the less functional handheld device." Weighing 2.2
pounds, Nova5000 is a Windows CE 5.0 tablet computing device
that aims to meet students' everyday computing needs, including
internet access, word processing, spreadsheets, and eMail.
The total cost of ownership for each Nova5000 device is estimated
by its manufacturer to be $225 per year, including maintenance
and local support. Fourier claims its Nova5000 provides the
highest learning output per dollar spent on computing, opening
a new window of opportunity for schools to harness the power
of one-to-one programs. Adding to the versatility of the Nova5000
is the incorporation of a data logger with built-in scientific
probeware capabilities. These features equip students with
multimedia tools to enhance their understanding and enjoyment
of science and math just as No Child Left Behind science mandates
approach, the company said. Pricing for the Nova5000 begins
at $419.
