Something I Read Today

Could an iPad replace a teacher's laptop ?

We have about 10 iPads in our English lab now and they're free to be used by all , starting January 2012.
A teacher asked me, what can we use those gadgets for, other than typing and browsing the internet. Why can't we stick to the old ways, use the PC and laptops, iPads are hard to handle. Curiosity will make it harder
to keep these toys in one place. Are we doing this to replace the existing laptops. Well , I found this article from my favourite bookmarks .. hoping I could enlighten that friend of mine with some of the points written :-)

I would have said the same things too, I guess.
Technology is good in its own way and how you plan to use it.
But again, always remember, it's the teacher that matters most NOT the technology. It's how you
embrace it and pass it on to your kids. Si ? si .. perfecto ..
