Reaction:

My major is a computer engineer .I was a teacher in my country. So, I was very interested in reading about using iPad technology in science classes. I learned many teaching techniques in this article. I have to care about the most important factor, “the time”. iPad technology allows the teacher to teach a lot of things in a short time. When I was a student, I used desktop in my classes. There were a lot of problems my teachers made like the mouse is not working and the download is very slow. My classmate and I were always feeling tired. Sometimes, we took three days in one experiment. However, now I am a teacher I do not want those errors to happen again. We are in an era of technology. We have to used it in the wright way and know how to take the benefit from it. Using iPad is more convenient than using other computer devices. I strongly agree with this article; therefore, I will work to pass idea like these to my country to help my students to learn technique like this and take them benefit.
