Halfway through a year-long pilot study using iPads instead of textbooks,a San Francisco eighth grade algebra class is showing signs of every teacher's dream:the spark of engagement in her students' eyes.
Jeannetta Mitchell,a veteran teacher with 20 years of experience,is encouraged by what she sees so far."This is not a magic wand," she says."This just makes it more fun for them to learn.Nobody's just sitting there writing down the answer,saying 'I don't know how I got there.' They know how they got there."
During my visit to her class last Friday,it was apparent that she was a big part of the reason they understood those problems.Mitchell walked up and down the aisles of the class for the entire duration of the period,asking questions,offering explanations and giving one-on-one help when it was needed.
The students never had a chance to tune her out.They were constantly being asked to participate one way or another,whether it was working out problems on the whiteboard (not interactive),watching instructional videos on the iPad or working in groups.
If the goal of learning is to figure out the "how" and not just the correct answer,then the gadget is doing its job.
The class at Presidio Middle School is part of a study involving 1,000 California students where 400 are learning algebra with iPads.The pilot program for the iPad algebra application was developed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,a textbook publisher,and follows the traditional textbook page by page.
But one of the differences between the book and the app is that students can watch videos of instructors explaining each problem as many times as they need in order to understand.
"That's one of the best things about the iPad as opposed to the book," Mitchell says."It shows how to solve.The textbook just has answers in the back,no explanations as to how to get there."

用IPAD代替教科书的试点研究已经进行过半,在旧金山的一个8年级数学课堂上出现了每一个老师都梦寐以求的景象,在她学生的眼中闪动着吸引的火花.

Jeannetta Mitchell,一个具有20年教龄的老师,深受她目前所看到的鼓舞.“这不是一个魔法棒,”她说.这让学生们的学习变得更有趣.没有人只是坐在那里写下答案,并说“我不知道这答案是怎么来的.”他们知道解答的过程.

上周五我访问她的课的时候,很明显,她是学生们听懂课的很重要的原因.上课时,米歇尔在班里的过道不停地走来走去,问问题,提供解释和给予必要时一对一的帮助.

学生们没有机会不认真听课,他们不断的被要求以这样或那样的方式参与课堂活动,不论是在白板上回答问题（非交互类的）,在IPAD上看指导视频,或是小组活动.

如果学习的目标是要找出“如何得到答案”而不仅仅是正确的答案,那么这个应用正在做自己的工作.

Presidio中学的这个班是该项研究的一部分,该研究选取了1000名加州学生,其中400名在IPAD上学代数.这个IPAD上的代数学习应用程序是按照传统教科书一页一页做出来的,它由一位教科书出版商霍顿米夫林哈考特开发出来.

但是其中一个和传统教科书的不同点是,学生可以按理解的需要一遍遍地看老师解答每道题的视频.

“相比于书本来说,IPAD最大的优点是它解释了如何解答.而课本只有答案在书后,并不告诉你如何解答.”米歇尔说.
