Brainchild Shows Off Kineo: Android Tablet with a Focus on Education
Kevin Krause
Today at the Florida Educational Technology Conference Brainchild unveiled their new Android tablet, the Kineo. The Kineo features a 7-inch 800×480 touchscreen, 800MHz CPU, and 2GB of storage. Wi-Fi and HDMI out round out a tablet that would otherwise be forgettable if it wasn’t for a special focus on primary and middle school education. The Kineo is designed to be distributed in the classroom, and in addition to educational applications sports some pretty solid security features to prevent students from accessing unapproved content.
Says Jeff Cameron, president of Brainchild, “Learning devices need to enhance instruction, not be a distraction. With over 15 years of experience in developing handhelds and software for schools, we know how to make a tablet device suited to a teacher’s needs for individualized instruction.”
Check out the Kineo for yourself in the below video. Don’t you wish you had one of these when you were in school? Whatever happened to the days of playing Oregon Trail on those old Apple IIs?
