iPads at school - The future in education?...:)

Teaching on internet

There is no possibility to increase teaching hours in a week. Yet, the web gives that possibility. People can come at any time 24/7, on any video with learning purposes, or "How to"
So if you build your own content, it's like developping a class on the side.  This class can only grow with time, whereas a real class once it's finished, it's finished. 

Large screens

In the metro, in Paris, I see large tall screen of advertising, like human size Iphone. I believe that in the future many education hours will be replaced by screens.

I'm not saying there will be no more teaching with humans. Just that an image is worth 1000 words. So teachers , or some teachers already start using their laptop, or Ipad to show with images, and explain more clearly.

It's more fun, sometimes it's interactive, and the brain gets it more quickly.

So, with the video I did with learning numbers, I see a new potential.

Reducing the weight of the school bag
For years, parents and doctors have been complaining about the weight of the school bag. Even now, you see kids with a school bag almost heavier than them, and they have to walk for miles to go to school.

I have heard that some aviation company have saved money (with fuel savings) just by supressing all the paper work with papers, and replacing it with Ipads.

So I see school tables with Ipads inside the table. Can you imagine? The kid will have all the programs, history, geography... Let's say you want to teach Paris, you will get your program, plus real images, videos, and even Google earth, if you want to locate a specific monument.

It's crazy!!!   Yet, it's true.

I see kitchen table with screens inside the table, no need to pour coffee on your newspaper or your English book. Well I guess, it will become more and more common.

Have a great day!
