I really enjoyed working on this activity especially where
we had to debate on the advantages and disadvantages of using tablet in the
teaching learning process. There are several strong reasons why the use of
these devices will help enhance students’ learning, and in my opinion some of
the most powerful ones are as follow:
1. They can be used as a e-reader,
thus loading the e-book onto each child's tablet and let them have easy access
to the different types of books available. This will help enhance their reading
skills and build their vocabulary skills.
2. Tablet fit student's lifestyles, they are thin, lightweight, and spring to
life without delay, making them much easier to take and use in class. This in
itself lend to students being provided with the necessary tool needed to
enhance their ICT skills.
3. They are the greatest way to illustrate
textbooks and students have direct access to descriptions, videos, activities
and other content areas.
4. They are used to make presentations, use as a communication tool, they display
creativity, and are used as a research tool and for noting taking.
Although great benefits can be derived from using tablet in
the classroom as a learning tool, not everyone will agree with this. Some may
think that the tablet hardly have any impact of how students learn and may
quote some of the disadvantages below.
·
Tablets generate more classroom management
issues for teachers.
·
The costs of the tablets are too expensive and
do not worth the value in education they provide.
·
Most app on the devices relies mainly on a consistent
internet connection in order to work.
In viewing all of the pros and cons, I conclude that using
tablet as a learning resource in classrooms will definitely have more
advantages than disadvantages on our students learning outcome.
