Intel has unveiled an education-focused tablet reference design, featuring an Intel Atom chip and the Android operating system.

The tablet is specifically designed for classroom use, featuring front- and rear-facing cameras, a stylus, integrated speakers and microphones, and a screen with shock-absorbers, cushioning the device in case of a fall.

The device will be fully equipped with Intel Education Software, and a host of applications including an e-reader, science exploration and data analysis applications and painting tools. It also has management software that provides teachers and administrators with tools to protect students and manage technology.

Intel offers two versions of this education tablet design, one with a 10-inch screen, dual-core Intel Atom Processor and Android 4.0 operating system, and the other with a seven-inch screen, single-core Intel Atom Processor Z2420 and Android 4.1.
