REFLECTIONS FROM THESE

EXPERIENCES


11

"In most cases it does not mean a pedagogical change but functional." (Fernández-Rodrigo, 2016; p.23)

Teachers have been applying the same methodology in classroom with the entry of tablets, but this tool has provided a lot of benefits to the development of activities.

.Fernández-Rodrigo,L.(2016)

INCORPORATING A TABLET CAN PROVIDE A

FUNCTIONAL CHANGE IN THE CLASSROOM

12

The educational use of digital tablets is conditioned by the availability of devices in theclassroom. By a "1x1" model, "the tablets are much more integrated into classroom

teaching practices [...] that if only have these tools occasionally"(Fernández-Rodrigo, 2016; p. 22)

USE OF TABLET

EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION

"The use of the tablet is not always innovative, because sometimes is usedfor a traditional learning model” (Fernández-Rodrigo, 2016; p.23)


14

AND…

¿HOW CAN WE INNOVATE WITH THE USE OF TABLETS?

We can innovate changing the learning methodology. Innovation is the"how". The tablet is a support tool which can help us with the innovation.


THE METHODOLOGY IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE DEVICE

“There is no methodology and didactics specific to use tablets in classroom. Each center has its own project and tablets are purchased for different

educational purposes. ”(Fernández-Rodrigo, 2016; p.22)


FOR THE INTEGRATION OF TABLETS IN OUR METHODOLOGY

WE SHOULD CONSIDER…

“...the teaching functions thattablets enable and how this tool

can be used for activitiescarried out in the classroom”

(Fernández-Rodrigo, 2016; p.22)
