With access to the internet, iPads provide numerous benefits to teachers and their students. One huge benefit of the iPad is that it eliminates paper waste and allows one neutral area for all classwork to be done. Thus, it is easier for teachers to communicate with their students and assign homework, without the need to stack papers. With all the apps out there, teachers will have a much easier time when it comes to quizzes, submissions, and grading. iPads can also provide teachers quick, real-time feedback about their students. They can see who completes assignments right away, how long students are working on something
Another advantage aims to tackle the problem of students who learn at a different pace. Teachers who create their own lessons may be harder for some classmates compared to others. Instead, iPads can provide opportunities for students to work and learn at their own stride. Teachers can be able to pick and choose apps and games to make learning more suited for each student.
Finally, the free content that comes with the iPad will help families everywhere. There are many applications and books out there that students can download to help with their learning, aside from what the classroom assigns. Students do not need to worry about going to a library or purchasing books for class, as they will have unlimited resources readily available right from their home.
