• Even today, changes are to happen within the school environment.

• Just compare the following lists:

WHY USE IPADS ANDMOBILE TECHNOLOGY?

According to www.ipadineducation.co.uk, iPads: • ‘will help to personalise learning’.• ‘time is wasted not being able to ‘log

in’’ as there is no network .• Outdoor learning can be introduced

thanks to ‘Wi-Fi throughout the school buildings’.

• iPads need little maintenance.

WHY USE IPADS ANDMOBILE TECHNOLOGY?

• Learner, teacher and school in control of their technology.

• No more ICT suites.• New and innovative software which

reflect the learner’s needs.• Saving files takes place

automatically.• The iPad can be an ‘anywhere

anytime’ learning device.• The iPad is a Personal Learning

Studio.• Click to see the website.

WHAT MAKES IT SUCCESSFUL?

• How can we make it successful?

• We must learn how to do it ourselves.

CONCLUSION• iPads and Apple TV can be very

beneficial.

• It is a fun, hands-on form of learning that can be catered to everyone’s needs.

• Do not become too reliant on it.

• Children still need basic handwriting skills, they still need to have the feel of a book.

CONCLUSION• Not the centre of education.

• Children still need to use actual materials

• Must be an aid.

• Not the basis.
