I consider that this article gives us very good tips and information to help our students and children to use smartphones and tablets to increase their education. Often children do not know how to properly use the internet in a way that benefits their learning and that is why we must guide and help them make good use of this. The 10 "best ways to use smartphones and tablets to boost your kid's education" give us on that graph must take them into account for our children do not misuse the access they have to these devices. The apps and services that show in the chart can help us a lot for our day-to-day children  to improve their skills in school.

”Digital Divide in Europe

 

"In total, about 8% of students in Europe have access to a laptop or tablet, but this differs between countries. 90% of Norwegian students have access to a tablet. 40% of Spanish students aged 13-14 have access to a tablet. However, compare this to Finland, Lithuania, Estonia and Slovenia, where hardly any students of this age have access.”

Angélica Potes's curator insight, May 9, 2017 9:31 AM
Nowadays, the implementation of technology in the classroom has been an action taken by more and more teachers and institutions that has given a new era to education. Although most of the state schools can not facilitate technology in the classroom having tablets or laptops for each student, they can show different ways to shape the knowledge in a bunch of means to facilitate their learning process. Today, internet offers us a new virtual tool that is so helpful to diagram the information to learn, which eases the manner to observe the things to acquire the data in one fell swoop. This schematization is called infographics and from my point of view, it is a resourceful visual aid that permits students learn different info compiled in one only poster. Therefore, as I am a visual spatial learner (according to the multiple intelligences, Gardner) lots of people like me can use infographics to ease their learning process and boost their knowledge to the maximum.
