Q3: What classroom challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

# data[].attributes.body
I anticipate there will be classroom challenges when using tablets. Some of these challenges may be:

Previous knowledge of the children

Time to train the children

Children being more experienced than the teacher

Booking the tablets if they are limited

Planning

Classroom rules

Children leading their own learning - how far?

If any of the tablets become damaged (behaviour issues)

Time spent on the tablets

Assessment

Evidence of learning for the teacher

Parents co-operation

Although there are many challenges, I still believe that these challenges can be overcome and the use of tablets in the classroom will benefit children's learning.

As I am still at student teacher, I don't currently have my own classroom. However I can discuss the future in two ways. Firstly, my future profession in teaching will be an exciting and challenging journey. I have to plan for:

Challenge and enjoyment

Breadth

Progression

Depth

Personalisation and choice

Coherence

Relevance

These are the seven principles of the Scottish curriculum: A Curriculum for Excellence. I believe that by using tablets and through effective planning that I can ensure all seven principles are met. I also believe that in doing so children's motivation and interest in tasks will improve.Secondly, I strongly believe in preparing children with life skills for the future. I understand that technology plays an important role in this and think it is crucial that all teachers keep as up to date as possible with advancements in society. Not all children will have the same experience at home and some may never have touched a tablet, therefore, the skills gained from learning in school are extremely valuable.
