ECTACO Info: Great Article on Pros and Cons of Learning in the Digital Age From GCNews

Image
Distractions, distractions, they're always there and definitely more prevalent than 10 years ago. We knew going into the jetBook K-12 project that this was going to be the case so we didn't put WiFi on our devices, but instead we loaded it with all sorts of textbooks and interactive programs, but most importantly we left it open for teachers to load what they create with NO LIMITS. Lesson plans, notes, everything can be loaded to each student's device or onto an SD Card that they insert into the jetBook K-12. But without further adieu, here is the article from GCNews: The world has quickly become digital, and the younger generations are leading the pack with technology that just may make some other items obsolete. As pre-teens and teenagers routinely turn to digital devices for entertainment and schoolwork, the face of education may change as well. In the past students toted notebooks (the paper kind), pencils, pens, and folders to school. T...

ECTACO Ads: Ectaco Jetbook – Is it a Good Kindle Alternative

Image
The Ectaco Jetbook carries the distinction of being the smallest among the top selling e-book readers currently available. With a screen size of just 5 inches, the Ectaco Jetbook is indeed a smallish device that scores big on portability, though this is definitely at the cost of readability. While the device may not have size to its advantage, Ectaco Jetbook makes that up with an array of features. For instance, it has an auto-rotating feature that enables one to rotate the text on the screen. So you can read your e-books either straight up or in landscape mode by just rotating the screen. For Ectaco Jetbook, contrast and readability are not among its strong points and these may not be as good as in similar models like the Amazon Kindle or the Sony Prs 505. However, its not that bad either as the device surely makes for a comfortable reading in most lighting conditions. A big plus point in favor of the Ectaco Jetbook is its long battery life, something that can be attributed t...

ECTACO Ads: Hanvon Ready to Unleash Its New Technology

Image
by http://goodereader.com/ The purpose of electronics trade shows is to give manufacturers a chance to show off a little, to bring the best that they’ve got and sometimes, to bring the best that they don’t have just yet. At the January 2011 CES expo in Las Vegas, Chinese e-reader and tablet developer Hanvon teasingly announced the upcoming release of their color e-ink reader; ditto their presence at BEA in late May, but those devices, originally slated to launch in China in March and release to North America later this year, are as of yet still unavailable to consumers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to use the technology that they got to experiment with briefly at those events. “Hanvon is currently working on several new e-reader models, including the world’s first monochromatic 200 dpi e-ink reader and the world’s first color e-ink reader. The Hanvon E920 monochromatic 200 dpi e-reader will be released first in the domestic Chinese market towards the end of July. Chinese con...
