A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板電腦）in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.

Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?

On one hand, there are many a【2】to use tablets in the classroom.

Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（ 效 率 ）during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T【3】 , using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a【4】. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.

However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f 【5】 on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained.
