Tablets
Learning has assumed a whole new meaning with tablets like iPads and iPod touch-like devices in the classroom. Educational podcasts, downloadable lectures, and free on-line courses are catering to an increasingly larger and diverse section of consumers. Grandparents in the 60 plus age group, young girls living in regions prone to gender-inequality, to name a few, are new demographics of students who are silently educating themselves. Though tablets have visibly altered the educational field, its maximum effect is felt in classroom learning.
