Last October 28, after much deliberation, debate and discussion in school, we finally brought home Busy Boy’s much talked about E-book reader. It was a newly released 8.9” Samsung Galaxy Tablet. It was neat-o as it was daunting.
At first, we didn’t know how things would work out. This was supposed to replace the lot of books that Busy Boy was lugging around, climbing 3 floors in school everyday. But only 3 out of the 8 books have been uploaded. There were issues on security, warranty and what have you. Some were forced to buy for fear of their sons being left out. As most of the other co-parents, we were both apprehensive and excited. But we needed to embrace this change (and set aside P4,000 worth of textbooks) as we support Busy Boy in this endeavor.
After a month, all this e-book did was become an electronic assignment notebook for the boys. I guess, we have to be more patient as we go through all these birth pains. They still bring the un-uploaded books and now, we have to contend with them wanting to play the games. I still don’t know know what they really do with the gadget the whole day. Sigh!
Being a new released gadget, we couldn’t find a casing and screen protector available and it was fortunate that Dad had a quick trip to HongKong last week. (as of posting time, there are some available locally already). We have to protect our 15-month to pay investment, so Dad got this cool, padded in the front and corners Viva faux leather casing..
And it can help stand the E-book in several angles due to its ridges which is just right when we’re doing homework (or when you’re reading or playing) Over all, this project by the school was indeed a breakthrough in the way things will be as well as a test of how responsible Busy Boy can be. We can only hope that its full potential will be reached and that all parties will be satisfied.
Will post an update soon.
