- brings new technology into the classroom.- devices are more lightweight than books and PCs.

- can diversify the types of learning activities- supports the learning process rather than being integral to it.- can be useful add-on tools for students with special needs.

- can be a hook to re-engage disaffected youth.- devices are cheaper than PCs and laptops.

- provides multimedia content delivery and creation options
