THE FIZZBOOK SPIN The mini tablet laptop for educa!on
Introducing the Fizzbook Spin The Fizzbook Spin is the first mini-tablet PC for children designed with a measured and thoughtful approach to understanding the real needs of education. The Fizzbook Spin wasn’t born in a lab, but rather purposely conceived through real research carried out with real teachers and children in classrooms all over the world. The Spin’s researchers travelled to schools and spent time living with and observing the interactions between students, their peers and siblings, teachers, parents and school administrators. The result is a potential revolution in classroom learning. Collaboration, development, understanding and retention are all significantly improved, and with the inclusion of Smartboard classroom software, free of charge, the Fizzbook Spin from Zoostorm is the natural choice for all forward thinking schools looking to implement an effective learning technology solution.
What makes the Fizzbook Spin so different? The Fizzbook Spin offers a dual mode use for students. In tablet mode students can use their fingers or stylus to interact with the touch screen, or in traditional laptop mode students can type and use the mouse touch pad like they would any laptop computer. When open like a traditional laptop, the screen swivels 180 degrees for sharing with peers and teachers The palm resting feature on the touch screen ignores the hands resting on the screen, allowing students to write and draw with the stylus naturally. The built-in camera rotates 180 degrees giving students a new way to interact with their world The in-built carrying handle combined with the lightweight and compact size makes the Fizzbook Spin ultra mobile inside and outside the classroom The Fizzbook Spin features a durable, child proof construction and rugged outer case, drop tested to 50 cm. Water-resistant keyboard Education-specific features and touch-optimized software

Software Optimised for education Based on our research, we know what children are doing in real classrooms around the world and we’ve included a free software suite with every Fizzbook Spin that will help children learn, develop and collaborate in and out of the classroom. And because of the touch screen feature, we’ve included software specifically designed for touch interaction rather than just standard computing software. Every Fizzbook Spin includes: SMART Classroom Suite (SMART Notebook SE, SMART Sync 2009, SMART Response) Ability Office (Ability Write, Ability Spreadsheet, Ability Photopaint, Ability Presentation, Ability Photoalbum, Ability Draw) Intel Learning Series (Intel Easy Networking, Intel Parents Carefree, Intel Quick Launcher, Web Camera, eReader, Art Rage2)
