When the bell rings, every student takes out an IPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively.
That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use IPad in class.
I felt surprised and excited when I got an IPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I paid about $99 to rent it for three years.
Every IPad at my school has a special learning system called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download the materials with our IPads.
It makes the classes interesting and efficient. For example, several weeks ago, we learned about former South African president Nelson Mandela. Our teacher prepared a video in which Mandela made an encouraging speech. We could not only watch the video, but also check the transcript (文字稿）at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the great man.
We also do our homework with IPads. If the homework is made up of multiple choices(选择题），we can know our grades right away after we submit(提交)our homework. If it’s articles, teachers grade them online, without needing to look through so many papers.
However, there are still some bad points about learning with IPads. Some of my classmates play games or log on social networking websites (社交网站）in class.
I believe the key to use Ipads well is to have good self-control (自制力), isn’t it?
