22、Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil , white board , textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications (应用程序) that look like video games , but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning (旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign language , or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember...they could do both at the same time!

She remembered the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often she said, "Take my hand, Douglas, we'll go outside.
