One piece of technology in a classroom setting that I believe is extremely useful is the Ipad. It is very easy for the children to learn. The Ipad is also accessibly to an external keyboard if perffered. It keeps the child engaged because children love technology. For example your nieces or nephews are probably always on your smart phone or tablet. What you can do on the Ipad is limitless. The Ipad allows not only children in a regular level classroom to learn but also children with disabilities. There is a great range of apps to chose and learn from. The Ipad is light weight and easy for a child to carry around. It can potentially be interacted as such apps may speak to the child. Having an Ipad in a school setting potentially saves money because an app is less expensive than a textbook. My point is paper would probably cost more then the app. I am the owner of the Ipad and it makes college a lot more simple. I believe if students were given this technology at a young age they would learn even more than I have. Children are always eager to embrace new technology, especially in a classroom setting.
A lot of schools are using ipads today. You are going to enjoy the night we spend in the ipad lab.
ReplyDeleteBrittney- I agree with you that the iPad is a great way for children to interact with technology. It is very user friendly and is a great way for children to use as a stepping stone and hopefully advance to more complicated forms of technology. It is also a great way to teach students topics in a different way that's maybe even fun!!
