She said every quarter the charity, with help from The Warehouse, did a road show to certain regions.
"We haven't yet been to the Tauranga and Rotorua region, and they could certainly do with some extra support," she said.
Ms Taylor said it was also a good way for the local Warehouse stores to see how their fundraising for Variety went.
"It's to provide digital access, so the kids don't miss out. It means we're helping to bridge that digital divide."
Gate Pa principal Richard Inder said their senior and junior schools were already equipped with digital classrooms, and this would allow a third for the middle students.
Arataki School principal Shelley Blakey said she was excited about the possibilities the 20 new devices would open up for the students.
"It will open some doors and allow us to try different things in education to be innovative and creative," she said.
Greerton Village School's IT leader Walter Annear said the donation meant the school could get children connected into the digital age and digital learning.
"It's just fantastic," he said.
"It means more kids getting on digital devices, more time on their learning... and just means they have more access to technology."
He said it was great Variety had targeted low decile schools.
"Often these kids haven't got direct [digital] access at home.
"We're really entering a technological age. Technology is the foundation of learning. It's everywhere. It empowers us even more."
