ABSTRACT

There are various kinds of technologies that might provide the resources necessary for creative activities. Tablets made by Apple are called iPads and represent the higher end of quality in the tablet market. Google Android tablets are very similar in design and functionality to iPads. In comparison to previous technologies, a distinct advantage of iPads for schools is that they are lightweight and portable. A beneficial feature of tablets is that they can accommodate a large number of software programs, the so-called apps. Tablets are effectively used in classrooms, there needs to be ICT support in the school and some accompanying material for effective educational deployment of the devices. Teachers need to think about how the activity fits their learning goals and how the tablet offers extra opportunities for specific children, including the highly talented as well as those with specific educational needs.
