Cost
People have looked at this for years but the cost implications always prevent it going ahead. A Nintendo DS plus 3 games is going to £200. Playstation etc are a lot more. With a class of 30 we are heading into big numbers. A year set would c£60K.
Amazon Kindle fire will cost £200 and have access to free game apps, and other cheaper usable Tablets are on the way. Schools have to have IT that is sustainable and every ounce of value is extracted out of it. It's hard to make the case for pure gaming machines rather than gaming as an activity based on existing devices.
