Most schools agree that the current movement is towards "bring your own' device. It is unfair to force a particular model on pupils/parents. However still some doubt as to wether slates are ready to support the full curriculum.

In the end the role of schools is perhaps to provide the infrastructure to handle the devices rather than devices themselves.
