What do you do with your tablet? Most people, especially college students, purchase a tablet for productive work. They expect to use the tablet as a note-taking device to jot down notes in class. However, it usually turns out to be an entertaining device for watching TV shows, playing games, or browsing social media. To better pay attention while taking an English instructed course, here are two apps you should use in class to make good use of your tablet.

Camera

Taking notes during class with your tablet makes it hard to immediately catch all the critical information in English. Make good use of the camera on your tablet. Use the camera on your tablet to take pictures of the moment you feel necessary in class. You may find it surprising that you can pay more attention to what professional knowledge your teacher is delivering. In other words, you don’t need to jot down as many notes as possible so as to lose focus in class. Also, after taking the pictures, you may use an online dictionary to translate the meanings of the words, phrases, or sentences in the articles. Therefore, you should utilize the camera on your tablet. 

Voice Recording 

Use the voice recording app on your tablet to recap what you have missed in class. In most scenarios, it is hard for college students to comprehend professional knowledge during class, so using the voice recording app would be better. You can later recap what you have learned and organize the information after class. Also, you can use instant oral translation to understand what knowledge your teacher is delivering in class. Still, you will have to get permission from your professor before you decide to use the voice recording app. 

These two apps are usually installed on your tablet, but you may need help to maximize their potential. These two tips for using the tablet can help you get through all the crucial moments in class.
