1.The portability of the tablet means that it is a good device for
fieldtrips which is an important part of my main area of instruction - science
education.
Most of the literature highlight that the tablet increase students engagement.
One teacher indicated that despite the increase in students’ engagement he did
not see an improvement in their performance. This he claims may be due to the
fact that with the increase in engagement he tried to push the students. I
think that teachers need to focus on how we make use of that increase in
student engagement. How do we structure our lessons to best make use of the
students increased interest?
