El iPad en la Educación científica de estudiantes de Secundaria y Bachillerato

The new technologies have penetrated deeply into Education. We have analyzed the perception of students and teachers on the use of tablets as teaching sciences tools, in a Secondary and High School where each student is provided with an iPad. Both students and teachers consider that the highest performance of the iPad is achieved in subjects related to life sciences. However, most teachers recognize that they do not take advantage of all the iPad resources. We discuss why technology does not guarantee an improvement in the quality of scientific education without an adequate training of teachers and some didactic strategies to implement its suitable use in the classrooms
