Q. How will the iPad-taught class different from a traditional algebra class?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What we\u2019ve seen in practice is the fact that it\u2019s bringing everything to one place that\u2019s making it exciting. The convenience factor, the simplicity factor \u2014 that\u2019s revolutionary. For example, if you\u2019re working through a lesson, there are three or four algorithms presented. With a textbook, if you want to learn more about one of the examples, you have to stop looking in your book and go online to our website and navigate that particular section and view our video there.<\/p>\n

Instead, on the iPad, you simply click on \u201cview video\u201d and up comes our professor, Dr. Edward Burger, the Bill Nye of education. Students have written to him saying he\u2019s changed their opinion of what math is. So to have him right there, you can see how it\u2019s natural for students to tap \u201cview video,\u201d as opposed to setting their book down and going to the computer.<\/p>\n

Another example is, when students are working on a problem, they can simply click on \u201ccheck answer,\u201d and up comes, \u201cthat\u2019s correct, and here\u2019s why,\u201d or \u201cthat\u2019s incorrect, and here\u2019s why.\u201d As opposed to when they\u2019re working on paper or even online, those pieces are a little more drawn out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
