Tablets and mobile apps

Handheld devices
How can tablets help teachers to make the most of their time and what role do apps have in the classroom? Gareth Davies offers his thoughts.

There is no denying that tablets and mobile apps are the future in classrooms. In the last few years there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the development of technology and how it can be used as an innovative teaching tool.

Many schools are now investing in tablets for both their students and staff, and new technologies specifically designed for education are emerging all the time.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for students is also on the rise, so it is important that teachers know the different technologies they use.

If a teacher is familiar with tablets and SmartPhones, and understands what is achievable, they can adapt their lessons and create an exciting and dynamic learning experience.
