The ipad

Is similar to the IPod touch it has many apps to download, it’s a revolutionary device for browsing the web. The ipad is bigger than the iPod touch only weighing 1.5 lbs.' and its 1.5 inches thick.

Introducing the IPAD

Steve Jobs chiefs executive Introduced the Ipad in Sanfransico January 27, 2010. Apple wanted to make a device that is vey different from all the other mp3s and media players. They wanted the Ipad to have everything a computer has and more. With a bigger screen that makes watching videos, movies and other stuff much exciting.

The iPad In the classroom

I think the Ipad will change the classroom in 5 to 10 years because students can use this device for many things. One of them could be that the students can use the Ipad to look up information. Watch videos, use it as a calculator, a calendar and eve type notes down.

The Video camera

The video camera is a recent device that can change the classroom because students can record the teacher teaching the class a certain lesson. If the students don’t understand the lesson or forgot something they can watch the video again.

The calculator

Another recent device that can change the way of learning in the class is the calculator like the one that we need, but this calculator you can do more than what a regular one does. Some teachers send homework to their students from a hub to their calculator. From the same hub you can connect the calculator and everyone can see your work on the screen.

In the future

Some devices I think that might plummet in the future could be the white board and the chalk board. Because the smart board is getting really popular and the teachers find it very useful.
