Vygotsky Post 2

In classrooms today, many other influences are used for teaching that could be considered "the more knowledgeable other".  For example, many schools are requiring students to purchase iPad's before the school year.  In this case, iPad apps can be instructional and be a source of all-knowing guidance for a student.  Apps that take you through a learning process step by step or by providing some sort of repetitive game allows the student to learn.  In today's day and age, iPad's would be considered "the more knowledgeable other".
