I started posting on the wiki site on October 14 and I started with the topic of technology and how new media has affected it and one of them would be Apple’s tablet, the Ipad. This tablet has changed the way people do things such as reading, watching videos, etc. Because it allows people to read different types of materials such as magazines, books, newspapers, articles, and so forth, they have become less tangible and to turn the page, it’s just a click of a button. The Ipad can be used for many reasons which connects me to my another wiki contribution which is education.
New media has effected education because it is actually effecting the teacher’s teaching style. Some schools already has replaced old dusty textbooks with more advanced technology in their teachings. Some of them use youtube to replace lectures and some teachers allow students to use Ipads as well for notes and for good learning experiences due to the applications that tablet has. I actually believe digital learning should be more popular because it can bring more interactions between students and teachers.
