As part of the whole change of society within Science and Technology, I believe that tablets are the new creative devices made to develop better citizens.
Tablets therefore, allow teachers to cater for the different learning styles and abilities within the learning environment. The teacher's workload also decreases as students become more responsible for their own learning. As a result, teachers can focus on actually evaluating learning, than on how to deliver instruction.
There are some persons who even believe that sooner or later technology will take over human resource, but it needs to be understood that men are still needed to create the various applications to be used.
Some main concerns of using tablets are: it is considered a problem in relation to students actual handwriting being altered; it has limited memory and ports; and it is unable to use Microsoft applications.
However, tablets are:
Best way to show textbooks
Touch-screen technology
Lightweight, manageable, have longer battery life
Use multiple apps, including cloud apps
Easier way to share information using the various tools
Low-cost device
From our Wiki, the following are some of the ways how tablets may be used by students:
- To take virtual field trips
- Spell various words using ABC Magnetic Alphabet app
- To collaborate with each other
- Take notes, etc.
