  4. technology use in the classroom.
  5. So to start, what is it?
  6. It's a thin touchscreen portable computer.
  7. It's easy.
  8. It sucked into the backpack, and it's like to carry.
  9. Here is a picture of one most common one and
  10. iPad, made by Apple.
  11. Very calm for students and use a lot of schools.
  12. You could tell here that they're simple, not lots of
  13. buttons. Touch screen.

  15. First, it replaces books, centralizes information, and it utilizes.
  16. Resource is thes air all things available to students.
  17. But the iPad or tablet makes it a lot easier
  18. for them to be able to access it.
  19. And it's a whole new digital world that helps them
  20. understand these concepts.
  21. To start replaces books well, we love books.
  22. They're very expensive to produce.
  23. Getting a book on a tablet is much, much cheaper,
  24. which would be super helpful for students because, as you
  25. get older, textbooks only get more expensive than they're always
  26. necessary. For students to be able to complete their work,
  27. they're easier to carry their light, and they slip right
  28. into the backpack like a book or a folder.
  29. But instead of having tons of books, you only have
  30. one. Imagine having a notebook and a textbook for every
  31. single class.
  32. Sometimes there used to be workbooks.
  33. Those things add up and they get very heavy use.
  34. Have lockers.
  35. You could put them down, but then you have to
  36. run back and forth to get him.

  45. and create documents, centralizing information.
  46. Having all your information in one place is an amazing
  47. tool. They're easy to locate because you could put titles
  48. and you can look up keywords.
  49. So you have like topics like we do in Prezi.
  50. But here you have folders and under you have documents,
  51. and it helps kids work on their organization skills, understanding
  52. how to conceptualize, putting things in folders and compartmentalizing.
  53. And it's so much quicker for these kids to be
  54. able to find their documents instead of rummaging through different
  55. folders and papers and not having to lose things and
  56. leave them at home.
  57. Now at least kids are not forgetting their homework.
  58. It's all a little program also helps him connect their
  59. information, their assignments.

  63. in front of you, and you're able to have the
  64. word of paper that you'll be able to express the
  65. information on and create these documents that you would have
