Based on the readings, it can be concluded that tablets may be considered a significant breakthrough that will help teachers universally to do their jobs of educating learners better. Especially where class sizes are large with each learner having his/her own individualized learning style and diverse learning abilities.
Tablets can come to the rescue of this phenomena by adding correct apps to the appropriate subject on a creative touchable interface where learners will be able to work at different paces, in the same class and with the same teacher. Additionally, its light nature with its instant accessibility to the internet , long battery life and digital reading capability, makes it extremely portable to allow learning to take place every and anywhere.
There are some drawbacks that should be considered with tablets, to include: no login process which makes them difficult to share, difficulty to be precise with certain things because of touch screen and that they have only two ports which limits their ability to integrate with other hardware.
However, tablets are still work in progress and it is believed that continuous improvement and development of appropriate apps will allow them to become more effective to the teaching and learning process.
