Bett 2015: smart, connected classrooms mark Samsung's commitment to education

Working and learning smarter with advanced technology solutions for education and connected classroom creation is samsung's proposal these days in London, at the BETT pageant 2015.

The new version of Galaxy Tab 4 Education, next to the whiteboard with integrated eBoard touchscreen, of 82 inches with Magic IWB 3.0, and the Gear VR virtual reality tool are the innovations specifically developed for the education sector that Samsung Electronics shows, until next time 24 January, at BETT 2015, the largest fair in this field in the world to be held in London.

This comprehensive offer from the company aims to integrate technology into the educational environment, with the creation of the connected classroom through devices capable of responding to the learning and collaboration needs of students and teachers.

David Alonso, responsible for the B2B area at Samsung Electronics, that's what it says: "We work every day to provide people with the best technology and the most advanced solutions so they can meet their daily needs. Within the world of education, we have a complete portfolio of products and solutions that help create interactive and collaborative learning environments, which facilitates greater interaction between students and teachers".

As far as novelties are concerned,, Galaxy Tab 4 Education, the new version of this 10.1" tablet meets the needs of the classroom, especially in terms of durability, management and access to digital learning resources. It's designed to help students work better, faster and smarter, with the addition of discovering unlimited possibilities in mobile use.

This device integrates with Google Play for Education, providing access to a growing selection of teacher-approved content, in addition to the option to purchase apps and content through the purchase order (Po) school without requiring a credit card. With its NFC technology, Tab 4 Education allows administrators to set up tablets of an entire class in minutes, instead of hours.

The multi-window capability of this tablet allows you to open two applications at the same time. The WXGA display 10,1 Inch, Android mobile operating system 4.4 Kit Kat and the quad-core processor help maximize speed and productivity, while the memory of 16 GB and the slot for a MicroSD card up to 64 GB of additional storage ensure ample storage space. Dual WiFi also ensures that all students in the classroom can access the Internet simultaneously.

Front and rear cameras (of 3 and 1,3 megapixels, respectively) increase the chances of creative learning, and Bluetooth 4.0 facilitates convenient use of wireless accessories. Jobs can be printed directly to a computer from this manufacturer through the Samsung Mobile Print app.

At BETT 2015, the company is presenting this device with cloud service provider C-Learning, Samsung Elite and Google Education Partner, providing a wide variety of services and solutions to help teachers and students get the most out of cloud-hosted technology.

Interactivity and collaboration in 82"

For its part, Samsung eBoard is an interactive whiteboard in the form of 82 Inch, integrated touch functionality and Magic IWB software 3.0, designed as a powerful communication tool to increase student engagement, while improving learning and information sharing by connecting multiple screens (up to four different simultaneously) and users' devices through their e-board connection.

The new Magic IWB software brings interactivity and collaboration to an even higher level. Files and other materials can be shared on students' devices, even when they are physically in different places. Teachers can monitor and control students' devices using the Magic IWB Agent program installed on them.

Distortion- and glare-free view mode ensures higher image quality, and the software allows students to access Microsoft Office applications and PDFs, with the ability to write and save notes. Teachers can open and share files on screens while they are explaining the subject, write notes or save them without having to take the extra steps usually required for file conversions, thus saving valuable time and effort.

Immersive learning

Another proposal to create the integrated and connected classroom is Samsung Gear VR, that allows users to immerse themselves in a world of cinematic virtual reality and that in this contest shows their possibilities as a complementary learning tool in higher education environments. Equipped with Oculus technology, this system offers the possibility of living experiences that were previously impossible in education, such as 'transporting' students in time to dely into space exploration of the subject of science.

At BETT 2015, professionals will be able to learn in detail how Samsung's connected classroom concept, with the presence of partners in this sector such as Kortext, Fuze, BrainPOP and C-Learning, can facilitate collaborative learning, distance learning, the digital curriculum and the future of innovation.
