• Why Windows Surface will replace iPads in schools

• http://www.cfmediaview.com/lp1.aspx?v=6_846624421_40738_21

So why the Surface?So why the Surface?• It is a real 64bit computer. It runs a nippy i5 processor with 4gb Ram • It’s 10.6 inches, so looks and feels like a MacBook Air not an iPad • It has real ports – microSDXC, USB3.0, Mini Display (HDMI) • It has 128gb storage and a respectable 1920 x 1080 display • It can be on a workgroup! • It can use shared drives, have multiple user accounts and the kind of networking that

schools like – student drives, teacher drives – the stuff that schools do well now. • It has a ‘desktop’ and you can install things or image things – so you can fleet

manage it without massive changes in work-practice. • It plays Minecraft proper. And Steam, and Warcraft … so it’s going to grind though

anything your school will actually allow to be installed. • It has Narrator – which works really well for accessibility. • It has Office – get over it, no school is going to give up Word and One Note anytime

soon, and you can still use Dropbox and Google Apps, so don’t cry just yet. • It has front and rear 720p HD cameras – I had it ustreaming and skyping at ver

respectable quality, mirrored to a projector (standard classroom spec). • it supports pen input. I know we all have fingers, but pens have proven popular with

humans for hundreds of years too. • It uses the metro ‘media’ interace for casual browsing and workflows, which feels way

more fluid than iOS and if you are an Xbox user, you’ll know exactly how the system works. OR, press the ‘desktop’ tile and even the most un-interested teacher will recognise the familiar computer desktop.

• The 128gb version has 83gb of storage, which is more than enough for a thousand PowerPoints and essays.

• The one I’ve been testing has managed 6 hours on battery – enough for the school day!

• The infamous series of videos about doodling in math class.• Experiments with music boxes! Videos and explanations of music

boxes with a mathematical flair. Currently features a Möbius strip music box and Pachelbel's Music Box Canon.

• Instruments made of paper! Videos of them being played (while on fire, too), recordings, and instructions on how to make your own recorder, hand flute, and xylophone.

• Mathematical Balloon Twisting! Instructions and photos for the platonic solids, balloon tangles, and more!

• Other art, now featuring figure studies of hyperbolic planes. Also includes various digital art doodles, some old charcoals of mathematicians, wire sculpture, and even my award-winning StarCraft comic!

• Mathematical beadwork: how to bead a hyperbolic plane.
