I didn't see the specs on it...but spring the extra hundo to get the Nexus 7.  I bought mine 6 months ago (an eternity for tech), and it is still the ranked as #1 small tablet.

I think pedagogy was on that author's word of the day toilet paper.

Anyone remember David Allen?  Stats teacher late 70's, early 80's in COB.  Pedagogical was one of his favorite words.  Specious was another.

I like the author of the logic saying it is free if you spend the $100 that was designated for a graphing calculator.

Brilliant idea! Wonder how the kid does on the final when he isn't allowed to use it...
