Benefits of iPads

          There were many benefits to having iPads in class. One was the ability to start the assignment we were doing immediately. There was no need to pull out pen or paper. The iPads were ready to use as soon as you got into class, so by the time the bell rung you should have an iPad on your desk ready to work. Another was the saving of resources. We rarely needed paper or pencil throughout the year. This left us more materials to use for other classes. This saves money for students from buying more supplies.

          They were few problems with having ipads in class. One was the distraction they cause. Students can now roam the Internet for things not important. This causes the student not to pay attention. Another problem is the access to sparknotes. Instead of answering questions with their own thoughts, students use sparknotes. This prevents the teacher from seeing how some students think. Some students have good thoughts, and this prevents them from sharing them.

           

I think they school district should have more iPads. This helps the student get work done easier and faster. Some students don’t have the acquired technology to get work done at home. Having an iPad to take home saves these students time. They now wouldn’t have to go to the library just for an assignment. Also apps could widen the creativity of the students for certain projects. Another advantage of students having iPads to take home is the students having less things to carry home. Some workbooks are downloadable. This leaves them with the choice of carrying some heavy materials home.
