iPads in Education Daily

My thoughts: Siri is an amazing accomplishment in the advance of technology and it’s a very helpful add on for a phone or an device having someone answer a question or find you directions around town by just asking a question. I have used it several times and it’s very useful for different questions or being able to find your way around or to a soccer field. Using this as a student to study could be beneficial but it could also be a bad thing. It would help students find answers faster and find the information they need easier. But having someone tell you the answer does make it easier it also might make it harder to remember because when you look for something in a book and take notes on it your reading it and writing it down so you have done a lot with this information so it makes it easier to remember. I could see programs or apps like Siri being helpful but I could also see them as being a very bad thing. If we have somebody tell us the answer all the time then we might not learn how to read or look through text books or looking at dictionary’s which I feel is a very important skill that everybody should have. Because if the power goes out then you can’t use your technology but if you have textbooks and you can read them and find information in them then you can still get your homework done for the next day. So maybe in the end having these types of technical advances will be a good thing or maybe it will be a bad thing time will only tell what happens.
