Module 8: Activity 7: Tablet devices in the classroom



Tablet devices are wireless, portable personal computer that take their primary input from their touch screens.   From the discussions I observe that the touch screen interface, providing one the ability to view it from any angle, its flexibility,  its ability to connect  virtually anywhere because of the 3G technologies, its portability and light weight, the high resolution that it offers are qualities that distinguish the tablet from other technologies.  When using tablets, teachers should remember that they are not laptops and should therefore play on the tablets’ strength – personalized learning, communicating and collaborating, for capturing/sharing/feedback, for research and for allowing extremely fast access to specific resources.
