]]> Comment on So I now own an iPad… by Carole http://www.ededco.com/general/so-i-now-own-an-ipad/comment-page-1/#comment-77 Carole Sun, 25 Jul 2010 04:45:27 +0000 http://www.ededco.com/?p=251#comment-77 I got an ipad a month ago. I downloaded the Attendance App last year on my iphone. It works great on the ipad also. I also had a disc come with my textbooks last year. With Docs to go, I have access to all the material on those disc now. I am also going to look at purchasing Lan School for my classroom. With my ipad, I will be able to use the Lan School Assistant and see what my students are doing on their computers and send quizzes and bring their focus back to the task. Last but not least, I will use it for presentations. My students are always in the community making presentations. With the ipad, we will have a more portable solution to this need. We will also be able to give presentations in one on one sessions with community leaders. I got an ipad a month ago. I downloaded the Attendance App last year on my iphone.

I am reading a lot of reviews from teachers, now its time to hear from the student. I think the Ipad is great for education. I don't think that the Ipad is going to take the place of computers anytime soon. People who have grown up with the computer, like my self, will use the computer for more internet purposes, because we know how to use it better then the Ipad. The younger kids are going to be more Ipad savvy then computer savvy because they are going to be using it more then the old generations. Now, lets think of the other things the Ipad can do, other then the internet stuff. I think it is a great way to save on paper. Students can take notes, type essays, make presentations, create charts, There are endless possibilities. I went and tested it out (I loved it), and i don't think the keyboard on the screen isn't all that bad, it works just fine. Also, think of how eco-friendly the Ipad really is. You say it is going to replace laptops and computers, I say its going to replace the need for paper! Students can send essays through email. The Ipad can be hooked up to a projector and students can give paperless visual aid! Notes, books and text books form classes can be stored. Talk about saving paper!! And if the student goes away on a trip, there is no excuse that they didn't get their essay finish. They can type it right on the Ipad and send it to the teacher. No more "well I didn't have access to a computer." excuse. :P There are so many great things the Ipad can do, not just having cool internet capabilities, but even the some little thing as well. Yes there are going to be problems the the 1st generation of Ipads, but that is why the have the 2nd. Look at what the very 1st Ipod was(call me old school but I wish I still had mine), and now look what it has grown in to! Give it time and most of the problems will be fixed.
