Mobile learning--iPad 2 Education

As the common use of iPhone, iPad, iPod touch all over the world, mobile learning also can be a common pedagogical practice in teaching and learning.

The education part in apple website shows a great deal of apps applied in diverse subjects, including maths, languages, medicine, history, etc.

The slogan of apple education is " Thousands of apps. Endless potential." With so many educational apps on the Apple Store, there is no limit to the learning possibilities at your fingertips.

Here is a video showed how to use these educational apps installed in iPad to support innovative education.



As the video showed above, iPad used in education can expand the learning experience both inside and outside the classroom. Students can track their assignments, take notes, and study for finals. Teachers can give lessons, monitor progress, and stay organized. And that’s just the beginning. I found apple has connected some innovative school to establish an apple lab, which aims to explore an efficient way for innovative pedagogy. And an Apple iPad Learning Lab can provide flexible and convenient access to technology, easily transforming any classroom into a digital learning environment.

  1. Using ipad in education may be a stimulating way, I use it just for watching some video or go to internet. May be it is a good way to introduce the ipad into classroom. Epecially in chinese classroom, so many apps can provide every the teacher want. Most is fantasitc as you video showed.

  2. I love the iPad 2 as well. GB and iMovie will make me rush out and buy one. But as a teacher in an Elementary/Primary School, I am gutted by the fact the iPad 2 is still not FALSH enabled. All the cool websites that have wonderful interactive experiences for learning on them, still cannot be accessed. Very disappointing …
