Educationalists often talk about the four C’s of 21st century education: critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation. Tablet devices are certainly good at engaging individual students in critical thinking and creativity;
Henderson and Yeow’s 2012 research into iPad use in a New Zealand primary school classroom showed that the iPad provided learners with “much better opportunities for collaboration than were possible in the past”.
Siraj-Blatchford and Siraj-Blatchford (2006) suggest that while ICTs work well in supporting communication, collaboration, creativity, and meta-cognition. – Also they noted that ‘quality adult interactions is more important than the tools themselves. ‘
