Summary

According to Dayo Adesulu, in his article, “Pen to Help Children with Learning Disorders Designed”, the author mentions that the Multimedia Printer Reader (MRP) talking pen boosts students’ learning in the 21st century. An educationist and physician thinks the talking pen assists learners who suffer from learning disorders and children who are visually challenged. In addition, it could be a good implement for in English Language Teaching (ELT) because it helps students using correct pronunciation and enunciation. Also the talking pen enhances self-learning and would be beneficial for the parents who cannot read or write.

Reaction

Nowadays, many kind of teaching equipments have been invented, such as electronic boarda and talking pen. The talking pen is an effective tool for learning in the 21st century. My little younger brother had a story book which functioned like a talking pen; the story book used MRP technology to make the pen get the signal and read the sentences. When I saw the story book, I felt very interested. How could this product make learning become a fun thing? I can’t forget that my brother used to read the book again and again because the book aroused my brother’s learning motivation. Therefore, I think talking pen is one of a good inventions to learning in 21st century.
