Rident_Mama Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Let me preface this with the admission that I am a Technological Luddite. I work from home approximately 4 hours a day and need my laptop. The problem is that the kids also need it for schoolwork and then use it for their 1/2 hour of computer (each) and any videos we get (we don't have a television). It has come to the point where I basically have to strictly schedule in order to give everyone time to use the laptop, and I'm getting very frustrated with the situation. So I'm thinking about a tablet setup. Among other software, we use Teaching Textbooks, Oregon Trail, etc. which I would like on a tablet setup. I found information about not being able to install software onto an iPad from a disk, so that's out; but can I install software on a Kindle Fire or some other tablet? My apologies for this probably being some easy-answer post, but I have not been able to find a straight answer on Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cara Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 There is an Oregon Trail app for iPad and Android I think. I don't think there is anyway to upload teaching textbooks. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rident_Mama Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 One of my techie friends shot me a link about Windows-based tablets. Found one that fits the bill! Now, just need to save up for it! Acer Iconia Tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
