28. What are the benefits of learning kanji with the
iPad apps such as Skritter?
Easier to go over what I do not and do know.
Because the iPads can also make sound, so you can associate the character
with the reading.
Using the iPads was beneficial because if you got something wrong
(especially with skritter) it would tell you and light up red and make you write it
more often, also you could listen to the sound at the same time as writing it.
It is easy for reviewing but I don't think it should be used for introducing new
kanji.
It doesn't use up any paper.
You can learn kanji easier.
The apps knows if we are struggling with the kanji, and if we are, the app will
test us more on that kanji. Also, we get to hear the kanji, and get a description
of the kanji so we can memorize what it looks like.
You could learn the stroke order, meaning and reading at the same time.
Much more individualized, the learning algorithm picks up which kanji are
more difficult for you
Easier to access, can practice anywhere, at anytime
29. What are the limits of learning kanji with the iPad
apps such as Skritter?
Sometimes it is harder to practice stroke order.
There weren't many limitations to using the iPad.
If you don't have an iPad you can't practice that much.
Can only see one letter/word at a time, can't be reminded how many
other kanji is left to study in that chapter.
You can get distracted.
That it is hard to remember because the person who is learning is not
writing it down.
We can't actually write down the kanji on paper, it's too easy to get it
right. Need an iPad or other apple device.
