Microsoft’s hybrid PC may not be matching iPad usage in the consumer space, but it’s definitely been a hit in the classroom. We’ve heard about the tablets success in this areaover, andoveragain, and the momentum only seems to be growing.

Educational institutions have praised the flexibility of the device being a full-fledged PC with the convenience of a tablet. It’s no different at the Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts, who have adopted a 1:1 learning initiative with the tablets to further empower students and spark their creativity.

“Having faculty and students on the same platform is absolutely critical. I think one of the great benefits in what we’re seeing is not that students are becoming more like teachers, but that teachers are becoming more like students, so that they are being flexible and creative in their thinking. They’re willing to take risks.” says Robert Hill, Headmaster at Williston Northampton.

Check out the video below to see the usage scenarios of the Surface Pro at the Williston Northampton School and why the device has been chosen over the Apple iPad.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
