Greetings, devoted blog followers!  On behalf of all of us at Edstrom Educational Consulting, I would like to wish you a Happy Spring!  It has been awhile since I wrote a blog…did you miss us?  This Principal Consultant had her wing clipped six weeks ago when she broke her arm snowboarding and subsequently had surgery.   However, now castless, we will resume our oh-so-interesting (and dare I say, controversial) discussion of the iPad and its uses in the classroom.

So unless you live under a rock, you will know that Apple launched its much trumpeted new tablet product, the iPad.  Almost immediately Twitter, Facebook and the blogsphere lit up with discussions about how this will change the face of education and publishing.    So as not to appear behind the curve, I will add my $.02 about the product, but more importantly discuss how I believe it will (or will not) impact the classroom.  I will resume our “Ready to Read” series on a day not so fraught with technological breakthroughs.
