China set to replace Books with iPads in Schools

China is all set to replace books with Apple iPads in schools. A Chinese school has already implemented the concept of ‘learning through gadget’ for some students which would be applicable to all soon.

Since long, the world community of educationists were quiet worried for the students as the tender kids needed to carry a heavy school bag for study. But bringing a big relief in this context, iPad is now replacing books. Now the students will enjoy multiple apps on the Tablet PC.

The introduction of iPad has already been adopted in the schools of China. The Jinling High School in Nanjing city has allowed three students to bring iPads to their classrooms on a trial basis once their new term begins in September. The rule will soon be applied to all the students.

Introduction of this gadget will solve multiple problems. Firstly, the iPads can set students free from the burden of carrying school bags. Secondly, the teacher student interaction process will be highly comfortable, furnished and fast through iPads. Thirdly, this will provide the student an access to foreign educational resources, which will equip them for the international standard tests. And finally it can also help save up to 90 per cent of the expenditures on teaching materials.

The concept of learning through iPad has got a wide reception. However, some people have said that children, who lack self-discipline, may waste time in playing games.
