Eddy, An Educational Tablet exclusively for Kids

When I was six years old, all I had was a slate and a chalk to scribble on it with – It  helped me gain mastery over the alphabet and enhanced my motor skills.
Slate

But, kids these days are really lucky. If used effectively, Tablets can function as suitable learning tools for kids as it’s just a small change – Tablet replacing the ‘slate’ and stylus replacing the ‘chalk’.

Recently, Metis Learning, has released an Android Tablet for kids at a price tag of 9,999INR.

What differentiates this tablet from the plethora of others in the market are the features it offers

  • Parental Controls:  Parents can apply any level of safety controls they desire. The apps have been handpicked for kids. Violent games and other unsuitable content have been excluded. Pre-loaded content is based on school curriculum.
  • Parents can also get detailed reports about the usage of the device, on the basis of app, subject or day. It is also possible to pre define the time limit for its usage.
  • It can contain as many as three different profiles with varying settings and parental controls, a useful feature for parents with more than one child.
  • It supports Wifi and 3G dongles but does not support SIM cards.

The most common problem encountered with tablets and even smartphones is, accidentally dropping them and cracking the screen. Adults are clumsy too sometimes, but this is a major issue among kids.
