Getting tablets into the classroom is only the start of the battle. Once you get the funding and deployment all squared away, you still need to actually use them properly. That’s what Edudemic authors write about every single day, but it’s still a tough (and new) problem for many.

So what’s it like to actually deploy tablets in your classroom? The folks over at Online Universities developed a quick but informative infographic (aren’t they all) that’s great for any teacher looking to learn more about tablets and teaching.

Key Takeaways
