I've often heard that you can apply for tablets from schools if you don't have any laptops or computers. But I haven't found anything like this anywhere on the homepage of my school, maybe someone of you is better informed and can help me there who I have to contact to apply for a tablet, can I keep it or is the tablet then borrowed? I look forward to your answers
Of course, these are loan devices. And as far as I can tell, they are sealed so far that you can't install anything.
The school is not obliged to provide you with a tablet. There may be schools that do this voluntarily, but that doesn't mean yours are.
These tablets are only borrowed and must be returned after school at the latest.
We had a letter from parents months ago, where we should indicate whether there was a need for a school tablet.
These then come from the respective federal state, not from the school.
But if you have a need, just get in touch with the secretariat of your school.
Simply click somewhere and then two days later you have a tablet is certainly not possible, it's a rather tedious bureaucratic process.
Could I go to other places where I could possibly apply for a tablet?
What for? You obviously have an Internet-enabled device
Last year (at the beginning of the whole lockdown and home cooling) we got an email that you can borrow a laptop from the school… However, this is only for school purposes, i.e. Tasks, conferences etc.
Well, there are some schools that do that…
It depends a lot on the school…
Above all, the school should
1st class have sets on tablets or, if necessary, laptops (for lessons),
2. Should no lessons take place in which one may be dependent on the equipment, the school would have to do without it
3. Does the school have to be ready to borrow the equipment.
In Hanover, for example, 7000 iPads were purchased centrally in autumn and distributed to practically all schools according to 'neediness', which in turn should be passed on to their students. Even so, with the small number it is clear that not everyone can get one.
Only someone from your school can tell you whether you can get one from your school!
Class teacher, level coordinator, trust teacher, IT manager, secretariat, Direx, …
No!
