Cheaper PSP ideal for Education
Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 06:15AM WE have been using the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) to engage learners and deliver teaching and leaning effectivley and efficiently for over 5 years. Case studies will be available in the resources section of this site.
The device has had significant impact both in actual delivary but also in helping to change they way we think teaching and learning should be delivered. However it always seems to come back to one question, these are great devices but how much do they cost. Well I believe at £120 they always represented good value however Sony have realised a new version (PSP- E1000) at a greatly reduced cost. Some features have been removed such as wifi. Trying to set PSPs and indeed many other mobile device and tablets onto school nerworks has been an issue for many schools so they don't even try, therefore the loss of wifi capability will have no impact to most schools.
AT the time of writting Amazon were selling the PSP-E1000 at £85. This is what it looks like:
