A+New+Trend+in+Education

Apple iPads are changing the field of education forever. Students will no longer need to carry around heavy books filled with outdated information and two-dimensional images. There is no need for pencils and paper- students can do all of their work on their iPads. There is no need for the school space- learning is now independent of space and time. Students now have access to information anytime and anywhere and can collaborate with others from across the world.

Learning will continue whether students have iPads or not, however iPads enrich learning. Instead of reading about a topic, students can interact with it. Instead of writing a book report, students can publish their report online to discuss with others. Instead of using flash cards to memorize vocabulary words, students can take digital practice quizzes that assess more than route memorization. Instead of watching a movie about the jungle, students can collaborate with students that live in a jungle on a project about Earth’s ecosystems. Instead of learning only what is inside the textbooks, students have access to the entire world. The applications for iPads in the classroom are endless and its power to take education to the next level is limited only by the creativity of the teachers. Education around the world is changing and evolving with technology, it is time for every school to join that movement.
