Abstract

This chapter briefly reviews the history of tablet computers and other mobile devices and their application in education as electronic textbooks, schoolbags, and learning companions. The tablet computers can be used as students' electronic learning companions because of their intelligence and interactivity. The conventional classroom will become a digital classroom if every student is equipped with a tablet computer and all the students' and the teachers' computers are connected by the wireless network. Supported by the intelligent instruction system CSIEC, all the students can instantly interact with the learning content, other students, and the teacher. The teacher can monitor the learning process of all students and give instant and individual feedback to every student. This chapter introduces the instructional design principles of such a digital classroom for English in junior high schools. The design's pilot application demonstrated that this approach interested and motivated the pupils in the classroom.
