Electronic ink or electronic paper is a material that provides few novelties in the multimedia world but it has very interesting functions such as low consumption and high resistance to the inclemencies of the outside, like falls, blows, sunlight, etc ...
This makes it start to be used for various functions, not just for e-books. Functions such as labels or as points of contact or meeting. The latter will be used the next school year with a singular use: help fight bullying.
Thus, in aid of Visionect, the American Psychological Association will install in several educational centers wifi stations with an electronic ink screen where the student can anonymously fill out an anonymous survey so that both the center and the Association can detect bullying and combat it.
Electronic paper will be part of a great gadget to fight against bullying
This is not intended to eradicate bullying since it is known that the Wi-Fi post will be insufficient, but it will be a great tool to locate the main sources of bullying and deploy the necessary activities to combat it. So the electronic paper will be a great tool to help combat this scourge in schools.
Of course, the American Psychological Association will send a few Wi-Fi points to schools, not to all the schools in the country, but the intention will be to have all the schools with these Wi-Fi or information points.
I really don't know if this new gadget will be effective, but given the current situation, it might not be a bad idea and it is certainly worth trying it in several centers if at least one case can be solved. And we also hope that little by little these wifi points with electronic paper can be exported to other countries or also to other functions why not?
