The students of De la salle Santiago zobel school from batch 2016, the sophomore level, are under the pearl program. The pearl program is the intensive use of iPads as substitutes for text books and notebooks. The question really remains, is the use of iPads better? Or is it just an instrument blocking us from our education.
Our batch, batch 2016, was used as a model to test the PEARL program. The test has showed different results, especially when viewed from different perspectives. In the perspective of the student, it is a great device. The iPad can be used as a gaming device, an organizer, a portfolio. Basically, our lives are within the reach of the iPad. For the teachers, it shocked them on how students can manage to keep using their iPads all the time. They have no self discipline when it comes to using the iPads.
Different problems root from the use of the iPad. Losses, damages to iPads are common encounters in this new time we live in, where an iPad is a book, a notebook, and and organizer. The use of the iPad shows how people can be responsible. It measures how much students put much attention or how responsible students.
