The article expresses the revolutionary functions of touch-screen tablets in the classroom, a trend that evokes celebration and concern among many educators. Lisa Guernsey discusses her experiences marveling at the innovative techniques implementing tablets in the school system in Zurich, Switzerland. She expresses her intrigue upon discovering the school's "unconventional take on the iPad's purpose," a use that does not appear to revolve around gamelike apps, but rather the student's ability to contribute in a more interactive way through the use of video cameras, audio recorders and multimedia notebooks. The article states, "The teachers cared most about how the devices could capture moments that told stories about their students' experiences in school. Instead of focusing on what was coming out of the iPad, they were focused on what was going into it."
The creators of , a child-oriented tablet, praised the article and reflected on the teaching techniques by emphasizing the true value of tablet technology for children education. "The beauty of tablets, especially the Meep is that part of the experience is absorbing content, but equally it can be used to create content. For children in the classrooms, whether that is through recording video, photography, art or audio, all of this can be accomplished at a much more affordable cost than with an iPad."
Meep tablets focus on the educational benefits of child-friendly technology, implementing the cutting-edge resources in the high quality touch-screen, durable and rubberized bumper as well as the parental control settings. Even with the immense potential to learn through educational resources and apps, the creators of Meep recognize that it's what educators do with the tablets and the mindset of fostering individual creation that truly make the learning advantages of the device come to life. With the tablet technology company's ability to filter content and adjust monitoring options, educational app developers, teachers and parents are clearly beginning to see the positive effects of implementing tablets in the classroom.
The article points to a variety of individual cases where students at the Zurich International School (ZIS) appeared to dramatically benefit from the touch-screen device. Lisa Guernsey emphasized the diverse methods that reach various students, such as educational activities that require students to record videos of themselves and explain the learned concept.
Guernsey interviewed Sam Ross, a second-grade teacher at ZIS who emphatically advocates the use of tablets in the classroom. "Children are being able to show what's in their minds by adding the oral explanation," he said. "That's off-the-charts amazing." The creators of Meep agree that the potential for displaying learned information through oral implications is exceptionally powerful, especially demonstrated by English-language learning students.
