Replacing textbooks with iPad is not practical in China

News of a day:

Many people may think this is incredible because the price of traditional printed textbooks is too high, all courses will also be presented on the iPad.

Both parents and students may worry about the price of the iPad, but the school has made plans for families that cannot afford the iPad tablet. The school will provide an Apple iPad tablet rental service. Students can rent an Apple iPad tablet at $150 per school year, three years later, the Apple iPad tablet was owned by the students.

I have nothing to do. Some people suggest we replace textbooks with iPad, which reduces paper waste and low-carbon life. Second, you need to buy another game machine (Laugh ).

I think it is not practical to replace textbooks with iPad in China.

The reasons are as follows:

1. Knowledge Education is not emphasized in China

Foreign textbooks are not cheap. For example, my books are imported from the United States. It would take 1000-700 yuan for a copy. At that time, it combined million sister coins, and now more than sister coins.

An iPad is also worth 500 USD. Based on the price, an iPad is worth three books.

If I import books abroad like me, they will be sprayed and the books will be waste paper.

If anyone buys a 700,000-cent pair of watches at the gold or Friendship Store, they may not agree.

2. Focus on exams in China rather than learning things.

EarlyArticleNow, Chinese learning courses are all for exams.

You say that the mouse is used to play games, but the students do not study for the exam.

The iPad does not have the function of replacing the examination, so it is basically useless.

3. Textbooks cannot be downloaded online for free currently.

At least I have not read any free textbooks in China for download. The books are published in popular magazines and books, and no student textbooks are displayed.

4. Game Problems

Many people just play games on the iPad. If you are lucky enough to be an IT expert, you should have experienced your mother's experience hiding the mouse and keyboard.

5. kickback Problems

I have kickbacks for teaching assistants. I know exactly how much it is. I sold teaching assistants in high school.

Later, I went to college. It is said that the school was going to donate teaching materials, that is, the school elder brother gave me a free school elder sister using teaching materials, I don't need to talk about it.

6. The gap between the rich and the poor in students' home environment is not feasible for students to buy their own iPad.

My personal opinion:

From my learning career, paper books do not hurt my eyes. Although a book is very expensive, it is indispensable to become a master.

Nowadays, many electronic versions are scanned directly using scanners, which is of poor quality.

Of course, electronic education is an inevitable trend. The suggestions are as follows:

1. tablets do not need iPad

From its entry into China to the present, I have played a lot of tablets, and it feels like this is the case, there is nothing unusual.

After all, it is not two years ago. Now, we have the ability to make a tablet that is not great but can meet the needs in China.

In addition, the price is not very expensive. As long as the 500-800 7-inch and 8-inch tablets are carefully selected and the quality is too high, they have already met most of the needs.

2. Focus on Educational Resource Investment

The reason why iPad is so popular is that I personally think it is not just those fun games, but there are abundant educational resources.

In many cases, you can buy an iPad for a book. For example, the last time I downloaded the MBA, I needed 500 USD.

Of course, the benefit is that you can escape from jail and save the money.

Whether it is iPad or pad, it is critical to provide textbooks and teaching resources.

 

3. Use the electronic Examination System

Our college English and university computer disciplines are already capable of electronic examination, which reduces paper waste and prepares for future electronic books.

4. Rich Materials

In college English, materials are limited to recordings, videos, and textbooks.

E-books can be more enriched.

I was most impressed by the open class we attended by Mr. Wu. I used my own animations to explain the principle of High School Physical circuits.

Finally, a success example is provided:

Our colleagues now use a 9.7-inch tablet made in China and download Flash teaching resources online. This makes up for the problem of too few Android education software.

There are many flash Education Resources for your reference.
