The introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has
allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if
all children in a school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with
them?
Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and
teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. For her,
the main advantage of everyone having an iPad had been the improvement in
communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a
meeting. Children submit their homework by email, or through the school's
learning environment. Teachers now take the register (点名) using their iPad,
which means that there is a record of which children are in school, and which
classroom they are in.
The use of iPad has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teacher.
All communication with parents is now done by email. Working as a group in
class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look
at one child's work by attaching (连接) the iPad to the whiteboard. If a child has forgotten
the textbook, the teacher can take a photograph of the relevant (相关的) page and send it to the student in class.
While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized (变革) the way children
are taught, it hasn't completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching.
Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact with
paper. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure's
school, parents feared that the iPads would replace exercise books and children
would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, "The teacher are not ready
to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in
so much as they help communication and widen the resources available but we are
not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their
exercise books and depend on them for review."
