iPads - The evolution in digital textbooks??

Like most, I was counting down the days for Apple's next BIG announcement. And when it finally came, the "wonderful" iPad was thrust into the scene. Ok...I'm being a little facetious, but I am intrigued of the effect this will have in schools.



I know across the country, many schools are slowly moving away from the traditional textbook and moving to a eReader device. I've posted this in past blogs, but I think more than ever, this technology and the question about textbooks, are going to be looked at.

I agree with Apple's statement about for twice the $$ as a Kindle, you can have a iPad that can do so much more than just reading a book. I think iPads can become a very powerful instructional tool and like the iPhone before it, Apple will continue to evolve this technology as demand grows.

What's your thoughts on the iPad in schools?

    The impact of the iPad will reach much farther than just as a digital textbook reader. Read my blog post at http://www.edutechnophobia.com/2010/02/six-ways-the-ipad-will-transform-education/ to see what I mean. Also check out my other posts about the iPad.
