An issue relating to Educational Technology

iPad's improving Mathematic Skills?

Above I found this link and it was pretty interesting. They tested two Math classrooms to see how much better they did doing homework and practicing Math work on a iPad and saw a 20% increase in their test scores. I thought this was interesting but I agree with the author that more testing needs to be done, but why not? This is an interesting, new, and fun way to learn. I love new technology, and kids do too, so why not use a gadget that is state of the art that students feel comfortable using and is fun for them to learn on. OF course, the teacher is going to need to learn to use this effectively but this is a good thing. The more they learn how to use it, the more they can use it in the classroom making it a fun learning environment for the kids!
