For primary and secondary school students, online classes can not only become a good supplement to the school curriculum, but also use online classes to review and consolidate the school curriculum. Some knowledge omitted in the school classroom can also be made up in time after class through online classes. During the long vacation, you can also further improve yourself through online courses.

However, online education is different from traditional education. It also has its own characteristics, such as flexible time and place of class, stronger selectivity of knowledge, suspension and repetition at any time according to their own needs in the process of listening, and higher requirements for students' self-discipline.

For students, the above characteristics of online education determine that it needs learning tools suitable for its own characteristics.

Nowadays, in the era of mobile Internet, many students also have their own smart phones. Is smart phone a suitable tool for online learning? Let's take a look at what conditions a good online learning tool should have.

In terms of hardware, first of all, the performance should be sufficient, which is the most basic. You can't get stuck while playing online course videos and processing some other tasks.

Secondly, the screen size should be moderate, 8-12 inches is the best. The screen of the smart phone is a little small. Sometimes the teacher can't see the small words on the blackboard or handout clearly. It's best not to be as big as a notebook. We should consider the portability. After all, online classes are not limited by time and place. Students sometimes have the need to listen to classes outside.

In addition, on the screen, the display effect should not be too poor. The key is to have eye protection function. In addition, it should have a relatively good sound quality effect. After all, the students' courses are rich and diverse. Some courses involving vocal music obviously have requirements for sound quality.

In addition, endurance is also very important. If there is no power after a few classes, it will be embarrassing

In terms of software, there should be some functions that can help students improve their learning efficiency.

For example, the function of taking notes conveniently and quickly while listening to the class; The function of quick screenshot of classroom PPT and saving it to other devices (especially mobile phones); There should even be some mind mapping functions to help students sort out the knowledge structure and so on

Another point at the software level is the richness of courses and knowledge resources. Of course, it is best to provide some exclusive course resources.

Don't forget one last point. In traditional education, the most basic tools for students to learn are paper and pen. In online education, students use the keyboard to record things in most cases. However, the importance of pen is still very high. It has great advantages in fast recording, drawing, annotation and so on. If it is a painting course, the pen is even more indispensable.

Based on the above conditions, we can basically lock. Tablet computer is the most suitable tool for students' online learning.
