Forty-five Pattaya teachers touched up their skill sets with
two days of tablet computer training offered by the city.
Deputy Mayor Verawat Khakhay presented completion certificates to the trainees
Oct. 26.
Verawat said the training taught teachers and educators to understand and learn
to use tablets in classrooms. Pattaya schools will receive their first shipment
of $81 Chinese-made Android tablets later this school year. All first-grade
students will receive one.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra proposed the “one tablet per child”
initiative as part of her election campaign last year. The government already
has purchased 860,000 seven-inch “Scopads” from supplier Shenzhen Scope as part
in a government-to-government purchase.
Government officials Oct. 31 said they planned to host an e-auction for another
1.6 million tablet computers during the 2013 fiscal year, with first graders and
seventh graders splitting the lot. The Chinese government has offered a loan to
allow the Information and Communications Technology Ministry to buy them.
