I have been using IPAD actively for past few weeks now. I
teach Science and Environmental Management and IPAD has been a great teaching
tool. It has been a great learning
experience for me and my students. I have tried using IPAD in various ways. We
did a Rat dissection in class on IPAD. Dissection of animals in schools now
being banned in India; it was the closest one can get to, to study the anatomy
of the organism body. It was fun and of course more cleaner with no drop of
blood. I also made a collage of pictures taken during the classes and other
events and sent it along with the Weekly transaction. The parents were most
appreciative and it got a good feedback. I try conducting different activities
in class while teaching. The other day I conducted a Group Discussion in my
Environmental management class on ‘Fossil fuels: Can we do without them?’ I
used IPAD for timing the Group discussion. It gave a professional look to the
discussion.
Using the IPAD in class for teaching has been a great
creative experience for me and my students too. I am sure it certainly helped
in their understanding of concepts. There are so many useful Apps which can be
used to teach not only Science and Environmental management but other subjects
including Languages too. I plan to use IPAD more and more in my classroom.
