As a follow up to the previous post about educational applications for the iPad that students can use in the classroom, I should also write about the other various tablets currently being offered by companies other than Apple such as Intel, Samsung, Google, and Amplify. According to the article that follows this post, "44 percent of kids are using some kind of tablet for learning, 92 percent of kids surveyed believe that using a tablet in school will change how they learn in the future. And 90 percent of students said using a tablet makes learning more fun." This article is an enjoyable read for teachers or districts looking for alternate options in tablets for use in their classrooms.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. It is so very important that the iPad be used in classrooms throughout the country now more than before because the children of today are accustomed to using this kind of technology in almost everything they do. While they cost will be an issue of worry for most school districts, these school districts must consider the benefits of using them. To not do that would deny students the opportunity to learn and grow through the use of these tablets.
