Review and crash test of the school netbook: “Mari Ivanovna, and if you pour water on my netbook - what will happen to him !?”
MUK group of companies takes part in the Intel program for Ukrainian schools “1 student: 1 computer”. We produce school netbooks of three models. On Habré, there was already a review of the earlier model Lbook-A Tablet 1NL20000032. Models Lbook-A E10IS2-160-Blue and Lbook-A E10IS2-250-Gray - differ in color and size of the screw - 160 and 250 gig.
To replace the Lbook-A E10IS2 will be made Lbook-A E11IS2 - it is more powerful. But first things first. Under katom device habraobzor taking into account the children's environment - extreme for equipment.
Here he is such a portfolio of the future.

Inside, white is a pleasant color; outside it is black, not a dirty color.
On the back of the two small speakers, if suddenly someone did not notice.
On the left side panel is a lock slot, grill, plug for the network (under the cover), 2 entrances.
On the right side panel: power, monitor connector, 1 usb connector, headphone and microphone.
Above is quite comfortable handle.
It is shutting down, but there is no latch, if you take it by the handle - then the latch is not needed.
For the safety of children, the corners of the netbook are rounded.
In our opinion, in this model of netbook, everything superfluous is removed, there are no screaming details, so that they do not distract from study.
The touchpad is quite large, on the side is a blue scroll bar. If desired, you can connect a regular mouse to a netbook. The keyboard is pleasant to the touch.
This netbook screen is not swivel, and not a touchscreen. The main difference from the E10 is a more powerful processor, and the memory of the new sample is the detailed technical data below.
A 2200 mAh Li-Ion battery holds in the typewriter mode - 7 hours, in the full load mode - 3-4 hours. Under the battery cover is a slot for a SD card.
Screen resolution 1024x600
What programs are inside:
Classroom Management - a program to manage the work of the entire class teacher. Through this program, the teacher sees: what the student is doing can block him, restart his netbook, assign a task, test, control, etc.
Briefly about other programs. Blu Dolphin is a shell, ArtRage is for drawing, MySript Studio Notes Edition is for notes. All of these programs are well written in the above review , so we will not dwell on them in detail.
Tell us more about the video camera and software to it.
1.3 megapixel video camera. Through the camera, the teacher will also be able to see the student if he, for example, is sick at home.
To her goes WebCam Compaion prog:
Capture - you can take a picture, record video. Edit - the captured video or photo can be edited. Annotation - these files can be signed. E-book - you can make an e-book yourself from received files and photos
When you open this section, the tutorial about creating an e-book is automatically turned on.
Detailed technical data
The most important thing is the stress resistance of the netbook - after all, children are a mega-active environment to wear anything. If manufacturers want to experience something for endurance, then the best crash test - to give to children - how much it will stretch - such is the device and endurance.
With a small netbook smash on the table, the prog works:
We demonstrate the standard school drop from the table in different ways, including a bad fall on the butt. During the fall, the battery just flew out:
But the crash test briefcase:
“Mari Ivanovna, what will happen if water is poured onto a netbook?”:
Our netbook passed the test with honor.
Such netbooks can be bought independently for your offspring. But there is also a solution in the program "1Martyr: 1Komputer" for an entire class or school. Within the class, this is implemented as a complex solution with additional equipment, curricula, schemes, services, support, etc. About how this already works in many schools is a small video (in Ukrainian):
This is a time saving tool.
The school netbook is only a tool, of course, it will not replace the teacher’s live guide. It will not replace textbooks and books. A netbook on a desk alone is worth nothing, because if a teacher does not use the same and classmates disappears, an important component of the very idea of such training is interactivity.
It is clear that the school netbook will not be able to solve the global problems of education, but nevertheless it significantly speeds up the technology of the learning process - this can be understood by a simple example - the class writes a test, the teacher takes a pile of notebooks home, checks them, probably not in one day brings back to school. Here, instead of 2-3 days, he needs a few minutes to check all the controls in electronic form. This will not only make life easier for the teacher, but also speed up the learning process itself. Children can immediately find the right books without going to the library - they will already have everything with them. These are just a few examples of using a netbook in the education system.
We will not present here all the details of the entire program, but in general, in Ukraine, it is realistic for both the schools and the parents themselves. To avoid the famous maxim: some are waiting on the top, others are on the bottom, and as time goes by and the children grow.
The program "1 student: 1 computer" with this model of the school netbook already operates in 14 Ukrainian schools. At the beginning of the school year, we will make a report from one of these schools.
In the next series of our blockbuster, we will find out how many blows of fate our netbook will withstand? Or maybe throw it from the 9th floor? :) Offer crash test options!
