Description:
Among some of the new technologies that Dell has recently announced to the field of education, is a new low cost netbook. The netbooks start at $389. A key feature of this new netbook is that the screen has the capability of being rotated so that students can read electronic texts, just as if they were holding a traditional textbook.

Comments:
This new netbook is one way that Dell is trying to stay up with the new technologies of teachers teaching 21st century skills to students. Dell understands this new shift in thinking skills, and is doing what it can to support teachers with new technologies that support teaching students the 21st century skills. Dell is taking a student centered focus as they are creating new technologies that can be used in the classroom. Dell is also in the process of creating new products that will address teacher's needs of differentiating instruction, and improving how students learn and work in the digital age. It is positive to see a company like Dell, working to improve the technologies that teachers are using today and in the future.
