Module 8 Activity 7: Tablet Devices in the Classroom

Tablet devices are portable handheld machines which engage students/users with diverse learning abilities and which can be used by the teacher to produce a variety of effective learner experiences.
They are visually engaging and stimulating teaching tools which the teacher can use to create individualized learning curriculum focusing on individual students rather than producing a whole class learning experience where some are left behind. with the appropriate apps applied, the students are free to work at different paces in the same class with the same teacher.
Learning with the tablet is termed "mobile learning" and it is simply removing the learning from the traditional classroom allowing the students to learn where ever possible. No longer is it confined to a classroom or behind a desk listening to the teacher.
The use of tablets promotes the practice of Authentic learning and improves project-based learners.
