- 20. Student Quotes We can make slides and we can share that in the TV in the classroom and we cannot do in paper but if we use iPad we can make a powerpoint or haikudeck and we can share the screen and it helps presentation more. If I wanna check the information or meanings of vocabulary, I can go to the internet and search it quickly... so in that way using iPad made my study very comfortable and faster. Sometimes we can share some with my classmates it’s really effective for me I’m not good at writing and reading so their work is better than myself sometimes...so it’s very good for me to share with others… and when I saw their work I was very surprised and I thought I have to do more.

Teacher Quotes ...you’ve got a world library at your fingertips… anything that comes up in any lesson you can do a quick Google… You get the students to do YouTube… everything is instant… You don’t have to say I’ll get back to you next week… You can switch activities very quickly… you don’t have to tell the students bring this textbook on Monday this textbook on Tuesday. It’s all there every day. Teacher has more power he has more room to he’s not tied to a fixed textbook on a fixed day within the program.
