Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school.But recently, you can add another one to the l1.: an iPad.Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for s2. the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn b3. when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications (应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong e 4.content. One of the best e5.of this new form of teaching application is Futaba , a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning (旋转的) object, and then identify w6.it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign l7., or just about anything,and students love it. Teachers can even make their o8.questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don't even r9.how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember... they could do b10. at the same time!
