15 Ways To Use A Tablet In The Classroom @ Tech Edvocate

15 Ways To Use A Tablet In The Classroom

Tech Edvocate: 3.13.2018 by Matthew Lynch

81 percent of teachers think tablets can enrich classroom learning, so let’s look at how tablets may be used effectively in the classroom to engage students and further learning.

Virtual Field Trips

It is unlikely you will be able to take your students on field trips to every destination you cover in class; however, with a tablet, your students can go on virtual field trips anywhere. Some websites are even designed with this mind providing 360-degree video.

Research

Tablets are mobile internet devices; therefore, it is a portable research tool for the classroom. Students can research topics without having to leave their desks.

Reading and Listening to Books

E-books are specifically designed for use on tablets, so it makes sense to allow students to use their tablets for reading in the classroom. Additionally, tablets have speakers, which allow for easy listening to audiobooks or text-to-speech e-books.

Radio and Podcasts

Using apps such as Tune In Radio, students can listen to music, radio shows, and podcasts from all over the world on their tablets.

Presentations and Projects

Poster board projects are a thing of the past. Now, students can have tons of options for creating multimedia projects, comics, books, music, and more on a tablet. These projects can be shared and shown on your Smartboard.

Photography

Tablets have cameras, and with the right photography editing app, your students can work on creative projects or simply document class activities.  READ MORE ➤➤

LAMP Literacy Program

Registration for Online ESL and Citizenship Prep Classes is now open!

ESL and Citizenship Classes

In ESL Classes, students learn to speak English or speak English better.

Students learn by listening, speaking, reading and writing. There are seven levels of classes for beginning, intermediate and advanced speakers. Each class focuses on everyday language people use in conversation at home, in the neighborhood, at work or school and in other locations and situations out in the community.

Attend Citizenship Preparation Classes at the library!

Citizenship Classes & Coaching help students get ready for the Citizenship Interview. Students study the 100 Questions, U.S. History & Government and how to fill out the N-400. Students learn by speaking, reading & writing the information needed to meet required Basic English skills. Due to limited space, those living in Monterey Park are given priority. Applicants prove address by bringing a valid picture I.D. After at least 12 hours of attendance, a student with an interview date can receive 1-1 interview coaching.

Classes meet once a week and will help you:

Improve your English.

Study all topics of the naturalization civics test.

NCFL: 7.31.2020

Where have hundreds of thousands of students and volunteers looked to find literacy and community education programs since 2010? The National Literacy Directory (NLD) at nld.org !

We’re celebrating 10 years of being the go-to online portal for finding classes across the U.S in early childhood, family literacy, adult basic education, English language learning, and citizenship.

Help us celebrate this milestone!

1. Share this page with your network

2. Send us a video about your education experience for a chance to be featured as part of the 10-year milestone. All submissions will be entered to win an iPad!

Have you participated in classes to further your education?

Send us a video sharing how those classes have impacted your life and your family. 

Have you volunteered to help others in literacy or community education programs?

Send us a video sharing what you have learned from your experience or how this experience has enriched your life. 

Have you used the NLD to advertise your program’s services?

Send us a video describing how the NLD has helped connect you to your community.

Creating your video is a snap! 

A cell phone will do the trick and 30-60 seconds is all you need. Just be sure to hold the phone horizontally (landscape mode) and face a good lighting source like a window, lamp, or outside. Look straight at the camera (not down).
