Today is the last day of student freedom. But do not worry, we found you a helper to learn.
Children happily ran home from school … and drew tablets. The world today revolves around advanced technologies and smartphones and tablets become inseparable friend of students in providing the necessary knowledge. The number of commercially available mobile equipment can, however, very quickly knock down a man on his knees. What to choose? What the tablet will be suitable for our kids? As a mother Five-Year Plan, which next year will sit in the school benches, I ask myself the same question. The most expensive does not mean that right away, that would be best. Tablets also cheaper excellently fulfill their function. A good example can be here Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 , which will purchase a little over 600 zł.
The premiere of Galaxy Tab 4 somehow not much was said. Samsung not particularly boosted market entry of new equipment, so you and the whole situation went unnoticed. A pity, because for kids seems to be a very good option.
Appearance biggest advantage
Galaxy Tab 4 is a small, 7-inch device. The actual construction of the tablet looks very good. Samsung has a plastic housing here imitates the skin. It is a bad solution. On the contrary. As a result, the tablet is very light, and the plastic does not collect our fingerprints. Of course, this refers to the “back”, the screen will have forever, “wypalcowany”. Around the screen is a material imitating metal, but at first glance, it appears that the metal is not. All in all a good thing because it could add your tablet weight, however, is that the light is probably its biggest advantage.
About the belly of a few words
Samsung has put on quite a small tablet with 7-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. I fully performs its function. Stubborn user may detect individual pixels, but during normal use, they are invisible. Colors are behind this sharp, and the characters very well visible.
also deserve praise wide viewing angles and backlight. This makes even sitting next to the tablet, we see what is happening on it. The same applies to the use of equipment during sunny days, which greatly hindered me recently working with my devices. From the Galaxy Tab 4 it was not a problem.
The model that was used for the last few days has the ability to connect your tablet to a WiFi network, but it does not provide a connection from any cellular network. Samsung has, however, offer a model with a built-in modem 4G. Presented tablet is also quite small memory (8GB), but it can be further expanded with memory cards up to 64 GB.
Tablet to learn, not games?
At the 7-inch TV hidden quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, which goes hand in hand with pretty good graphics chip (Vivante GC1000). What does it mean? Tablet can handle the majority of tasks asked him, though from time to time will crop up on more demanding games. No mention here of the older titles such as Angry Birds , but can zachłysnąć with such Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8: Airborne . On the other hand, thanks to a resolution and great wykonanemu screen Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is ideal for browsing the web or reading the news or books.
The battery can withstand a little
Samsung promises that the battery in the Galaxy Tab 4 can withstand more than 11 hours of use. And in normal mode, so it actually is. With tight extensive use, robust battery me a little more than 8 hours with the strongest brightness of the screen. This concerned both web browsing, watching videos, using the application and read the message. To charge the battery while the end be enough less than 4 hours.
Kings selfie?
Samsung has two cameras – both front (1.3 Mpix) and rear (3Mpix). They work pretty average, as in other tablets in this price range, but, surprisingly, the equipment copes quite well when recording video in 720p and 30 frames per second. Taking pictures against the light or while moving the object here can be a bit problematic, because the camera is not got diode, which would help in exposure. There is also no auto focus function.
Time for school. Which applications?
What could use this tablet? As I mentioned before – mainly for reading news and browsing the web or watching video. So in a nutshell – the tablet ideal for school. By the way, very light, so you can safely drop off your child in a backpack. As a mother Five-Year Plan for some time occurred in the head, how can such a tablet used to learning. So I decided to bury in applications that help our kids a bit develop. But I found a few that certainly should be included in the device each student, and the occasion would help me in testing the tablet. Here is a list that have been tested:
Mode kids
As you know, not every application whether the content is suitable for the youngest audience, so if you decide to buy Galaxy Tab 4 is waiting for us a pleasant surprise – first of all we can here to install an application called Children Mode that allows us to control multimedia content and limit access to certain applications.
YouTube
Apparently strongly scattering application However, bringing with them much good. Especially for those who are eyesight. It is here that every student will find archival video footage, as well as numerous documentaries for young viewers. With this application, students can also look like chemical experiments are made, and how the laws of physics. There are also separate classes for English, Spanish, and even Chinese or Swahili. Virtually everyone will find something for everyone – even medical students, who can watch what they look like individual operations.
MyTable
MyTable is simply a digital lesson plan. The user can specify a name here for individual items, add to each class corresponding teacher’s name, save where exactly will the next lesson, as well as set the hours for classes. It is only the basic functions offered by the application. In addition, the pupil / student can enroll here short notes on lessons data or set up an automatic mute for tablet during a lesson. In addition, the phone can be set up to inform about ending or beginning lessons. Excellent option for those getting started in a new school and not really even know how to move in it.
DropBox
DropBox is an application that allows you to store photos, videos and other files. If, therefore, we have notes or books available digitally A. We can keep them in a safe place, because all the files that we put into the DropBox have your backup and B. share them with your friends. Even those who do not have an account in the DropBox . The application can be customized to suit your needs. For this example we set to DropBox automatically perform backups of our pictures or movies. The application is completely free. We pay for it if we want to exceed 2GB files on your account. Another convenience is the fact that our account we get both from your smartphone or tablet and computer.
Moon + Reader
The spine of our kids with Certainly he can withstand a lot, but the number of books that must be students in backpacks often prevents the taking of additional aids in the form of reading and studies. If you want your child to read a lot, we recommend you have a very good free e-book reader, which is Moon + Reader . The application allows us to store the available digital books, reading them, as well as importing new entries. The user can also customize the text of your book to your needs. So, if you prefer to read items in large letters, we can change this in the settings, it also applies to the brightness or use the tilt to change pages. The only problem may be frequently pop-up ads.
Evernote
Evernote is a great application for taking notes. The basic, free version of the app allows you to add notes and share them on the notepads. Apart from that you can add to each note the time at which it must perform an action, and even specially made picture. This application allows you to run a chat between other users Evernote . In this way, students can create their own schedule their classes and write homework, dates of tests or all tests. These announced, of course. It may also be the date of the next event or reminder of feeding the pet.
Math
Who has ever had the problem remembering mathematical formulas? Hand up. No one? Therefore, I recommend an application called Math . We find in it all the major patterns of algebra, logic, analysis, geometry and statistics. If you happen to have some forget, just open the app and choose interesting about the subject. Each model is also briefly described, so we will not have a problem with his identity.
Atlas
The proposal for all students who have problems with geography, but do not have problems with the English language. Atlas is a great application that allows to find on a map all the countries of the world. But it is not everything. For each country added a description from which we learn what is its capital as citizens of a population of a country, what language there in force, and that the currency will pay in the grocery store there. Besides, we know, for example, what is the mortality rate, as far as airports, what is the average age, and even how many kilometers of paved trails is there. In addition, the distinguished here about the longest rivers, the highest peaks and the most beautiful sights in the world. There is only one difficulty – the information given in the application are available only in English, so we recommend it only to those students who know the language, “islanders”.
Research-
If you still do not know, I am pleased to inform you that many linguists sets Polish language at the top of the most difficult languages to learn. Or at least it is in the top five. Yes, partly the responsibility falls on a difficult to assimilate spelling. And though in my life I was able to win several competitions spelling never parting with the dictionary. One of the better available in the Play Store is … Dictionary spelling . To find out what is the correct pronunciation of a word simply type a word into a search engine. Even if the word is a write error, the application will improve it during and give us the correct spelling. In the case of words that differ only by one letter (like the people, and ice), the application displays a short description stating exactly what type of word we have to deal with.
Wikipedia
The popular Wikipedia , who knows the answer almost every question we asked. Over the years somewhat marginalized, but everyone still knows that you will not find much of interest to us informed on the subject than just Wikipedia . Polish side is well developed, we find there are a lot of interesting information. If given in Polish information will not be enough, we can always use another language.
Google Translator
There are many dictionaries available in the mobile shops. It’s hard to find the right for himself dictionary. As an English teacher I recommend a simple Translator from Google. Not only because that Translator allows you to enter text, it still detects spoken by our words. Therefore, if our child does not understand what she said, the teacher can check it out with the help of the application. In addition to English, German or French version of the dictionary, we find here a lot more options – from Burma by Chinese or Chewa language.
CamScaner
At the end I left the application that will be useful for both students and students. It is the CamScaner . As the name suggests it is used to “scan” documents and introducing them to our unit. Although, as already mentioned, the camera Galaxy Tab 4 is very useful, so here even the worst captured screenshots are smoothed inside the application, and the font is also strongly emphasized. The application will certainly be useful to leniuchom who do not like to take notes, as well as all those who have left lessons or classes. Besides, can use it, those who do not have access to certain books.
With the Galaxy Tab 4 to school
If you do not have an idea for a gift for your baby at the beginning of the school year, Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 appears to be a good idea. The tablet is suitable primarily for tasks related to text or web browsing. So you can safely fly with him to school journeys. The tablet is made neatly and nicely, so our kids should not be ashamed to pull it during a school break and proud of it among friends. An additional advantage is its small size and weight, so that the tablet can accommodate up to everyone, even a small backpack.
Back to school is a joint action of Companies Samsung and gram.pl
