Proponents of tablets say that they are supported by most teachers and students, are much lighter than print textbooks, and improve standardized test scores. They say tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks, save the environment by lowering the amount of printing, increase student interactivity and creativity, and that digital textbooks are cheaper than print textbooks.

Opponents of tablets say that they are expensive, too distracting for students, easy to break, and costly/time-consuming to fix. They say that tablets contribute to eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision, increase the excuses available for students not doing their homework, require costly Wi-Fi networks, and become quickly outdated as new technologies are released.

  I also agree here that a tablet can be a huge distraction to kids, especially with how popular social medias are these days.

Textbooks will always be useful in my opinion. Tablets can be used in many situations. I will always prefer turning the pages of a book but most students want to learn and read more from tablets.

I think that blogging is a good tool in the elementary education classroom because it can be used as an activity for them. These days, students are learning about the internet since it is a main source used in the classroom, so blogging gets them familiar with using the internet. This article also states that it helps students write better, since they will have a real audience that sees their journals.

shared by jkapitanski on 20 Feb 15 - Cached

How to teach persuasive writing Have students listen to or read examples of persuasive writing. Together, listen and look for words, phrases and techniques that helped the writer persuade the listener. Brainstorm something that is important to an individual child or the group. Is it extra recess? Another chapter of the read aloud? The potential closing of a library? The more authentic the issue, the more passionately your students will write. Once the important privilege is chosen, have the child (or class) start to list reasons why they should be allowed this privilege. "Just because," and "because I like it" should not be considered valid reasons. Students can work together to generate at least three good reasons to support an argument. This list of persuasive words (44K PDF)* and phrases from the site Teaching Ideas may help get students started. Have students do some research to gather facts or examples that support their reasons. Have students summarize their position.
