Hipstreet flare 2 review android#

Brand new, original touch screen panel for Hipstreet FLARE 2 HS-9DTB7-8GB HS-9DTB7-4GB 9 Inch android tablet PC.

What brand do you possess? Also, provide some positives things about your device that makes it suitable for the classroom environment as well as some things that could be improved upon. Post a comment about your tablet experience. As one of the critiques said in an Amazon post 'you pay for what you get', however I am not ready to part with my $115 on something that doesn't meet my basic need to surf the web and listen to music at the same time without the system slowing dramatically. I can say with certainty that the Hipstreet tablet isn't powerful enough to handle multiple open screens, streaming music or video, or playing games simultaneously.

Hipstreet flare 2 review how to#

Another problem which was indicated in the reviews that is similar to my experience was the tablet kept dropping the WI-FI signal. Wearing my teacher's hat. I began to consider the devices use in the classroom. I decided to return the device back to Walmart and save my money for a much more expensive device that I would be able to use comfortably at home and in the classroom.Īs I continue this journey educational technology (JourneyEduTech), I am becoming familiar with how to integrate technology in the class for 21st century teaching and learning. This was definitely a disadvantage that could hinder students learning in the classroom using this tablet. This was frustration because I could only see one line as I typed which made it hard for me to read over what I had written. The text box gets covered by the pop-up keyboard on the screen when your trying to type. I experienced some deficiency when try to type information for my blog. Well my experience was not good with the device. After reading the critiques, I wanted to experiment with the device for myself so I can come to my own conclusion. Hipstreet tablet received fairly poor reviews. The review on the particular tablet I bought indicated that the machine was faulty. Well, my first tablet experience was not good. why not get one since students may be bringing their own to class coming Fall 2013. I didn't own a device for myself so I thought.

So, I bought a cheap tablet from Walmart to experiment with for BYOD. I am just journaling my observations and experiences in the process of creating 21st century learner in the 21st century classroom. Though this may seem like a rant it is not. Today all the students should have been completing their final cut and by the end of the time, not one group was finished. Considering how much of the curriculum content I should be covering over the limited time that I have to do it. It has also led me to question whether I should be trying to incorporate more creating learning videos because of the amount of time it takes to capture, edit, and publish footage of their learning. I must admit that students observed enthusiasm at creating the videos have drastically reduced to the complications they are experiencing. Also, when zooming in on the speaker or an object the person voice gets distorted. The images weren't sharp and when students zoomed in on their written work instead of the video becomming clearer it became more distorted and elligible. (That was weird, I thought and so did the students) Other issues making our videos resulted from the cameras we had available. Android’s safe mode is perhaps more useful than what. You’ll see the same dialog box, wherein tapping OK will put your Android into safe mode. Then, instead of the Power off option, press and hold Reboot. It worked with the headphones and then when the head phone was removed then the laptops speakers started to work. On an AOSP ROM, especially CM10.1 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean base), press and hold the on/off button like before to get to the Power menu. After some investigation one of the students used a headphone to see if the volume would work. Seems like the sound cards in some of the laptops were defective.

(In fact it would have been easy if we had the most up to date hardware and software available)Some problems the student encountered with the acer laptops was that once they recorded their videos and uploaded it there was no volume. However, as we continue to use the technological devices that are available to us such as the school camera and the laptops we realized that it was as easy as we had thought. At first students and I were very excited about this new endeavour.

In an effort to integrate technology in the class I have created an assignment for students to make a webisode of calculating surface area and volume of a cylindrical container. As I continue to explore the use of technology in classroom I am confronted with obstacles that become time consuming and hinders progresss.
