You can use it any time and i don't think it's good to use it with paid version. Because i don't think these apps are only app that can do this thing. Even I think that way, it's still good to know. You can get more information of Apps that you can use for daily. and you can know how technology developed nowadays! :) Just make sure you are not holic in use apps.

Article review::The Secret To Successfully Using iPads In Education


The Secret To Successfully Using iPads In Education




                     This article, looking iPad as hammer. I mean It's same as tools.When they using it may they will have fun at first and they will possible to use more application.Tools are not motivate, It might be challenge. but before use it, you should understand or demonstrate ones capabilities. however it's increase to iPad in class, if students is no challenge in their mind, may they will just email their peers and take a picture, update it in internet, use social networks status..etc. Even it's like that, it's still increased engagement.first you should know that iPad do not teach. what iPad do is provide a unique ability to have create content. you may can create video and edit it, publish it and check those documents in anywhere without computer lab. 



  There are really lots of ways to teach with iPad. Follow this article, It's good to benefit of using iPad is not seem as teaching tools. Actually it's depend on how to use it. it can help to understand students. It's just iPad. But It you don't use it properly, It may just waste money.

  If you agree with iPad is tool as hammer, you also should agree with It's not best tool for every situation.

  My Question of this article is what he want to say. just for explain iPad is not best tool? and I'm curious that why is he use hammer for comparing tools. There are lots of tools and why is he use only hammer for explain it?

  But I think, What he want to say is good. such as 'iPad is do not teach' and he make it to argue. It's good to see and I can think about what's my idea of class with iPad. also this article is very clear!

  Therefore, it also has disadvantage. If you read this article, you will know that his talking about bad things rather than good things. I think it should be more advantages of class with iPad. Even iPad is not teach, even it's not a best tool, It can be a good tool. If teachers teach well with it, probably it will be good. and I don't think this brothers story is really important in this article but it has too much part of article.
