Plus the Connect & Learn package offers connectivity to external monitors, keyboard, mouse, printer and other office peripherals. Choosing a device that is powered by Windows 10, is up skilling them for their future.
3 Reasons why students love Connect & Learn
1. Be just like everyone else - Surface Pro
Unlike some specialist low vision magnifiers, Connect & Learn features a mainstream Microsoft Surface Pro. It is not specialist hardware designed for visual impairments, and it won’t make you stand out amongst your sighted peers. In fact, they might be jealous.
2. Portable and lightweight – 1 device instead of 4
Connect & Learn includes all the features and power of a video magnifier, laptop, tablet AND book reader in 1 flexible package. That’s less to carry between classes and while travelling to and from school. Plus it all fits neatly in the sturdy backpack that’s included.
3. More than learning – play games, watch videos and have fun
Take your Connect & Learn home with you and (once you’ve completed your homework!) there’s a world of reading, web browsing, games and videos at your fingertips.
