Gainesville’s technology director gave City Board of Education members a Kuno tablet computer to play with briefly Monday night. But the device will serve a higher purpose as the school system rolls it out next school year to about 600 students in second through fifth grades at Fair Street International Baccalaureate World School. “The amazing thing is that inside this device is every textbook a child is going to need, a complete set of encyclopedias, the complete works of Shakespeare ... all the great works of art from the Louvre, and more,” Keith Palmer said.
