Obviously everyone has heard of the new ipad. There was much anticipation for its arrival and it is defiantly the hot new device for 2011, but I wondered how this device could be incorporated into the classroom. One of the big things I saw when researching this topic is a lot of Universities looking toward devices such as the ipad and nook to lighten the loads on students backs.
We all know that textbooks are heavy, and we dread having books we need to bring to class. Through using these devices we could have all our books literally in the palm of our hand. Obviously due to the cost not all schools can afford to provide for all their students to be equipped with the latest technology but a few schools are actually finding ways to do this.
Still not convinced? Check out this Youtube video of all the things an ipad is capable of related to class.
