Comment on News Corp. Has a Tablet for Schools

Comments

I'm at SXSWedu this week and News Corp has spent a fortune advertising the Amplify platform here. They've demoed many of their educational apps and the content they're developing, and it actually looks well tailored to classroom needs. It's a shame that News Corp is just about the least trusted brand in the country, because any other organization—Amazon, Apple, Microsoft—would be much more well received and praised for innovating within an industry which needs it so badly. I don't trust News Corp with student data, but there are no other companies creating an end-to-end platform this ambitious.
