High Tech Technology
Educators face increasing pressure to incorporate technology into their classrooms.
Among the pros:
Tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks on one device, plus homework, quizzes, and other files.
E-textbooks on tablets cost on average 50-60% less than print textbooks.
Tablets help to improve student achievement on standardized tests.
E-textbooks can be updated instantly to get new editions or information.
Among the cons:
Handheld technological devices including tablets are associated with a range of health problems.
People who read print text comprehend more, remember more, and learn more than those who read digital text.
Print textbooks cannot crash, freeze, or get hacked.
Tablets are more susceptible to theft than print textbooks.
Hello Anita - I'm interesting in your statement "Handheld technological devices including tablets are associated with a range of health problems". I wasn't aware of this can you provide more information on this? Both from a professional and personal level I'm interested in what you mentioned here.
Thanks -
