Let's move things here.
iPads in education
Win the classroom and win the tablet market. “@52tiger: [Post] Tablets in the classroom http://t.co/8efMVUra”
@davidcaolo Sadly the world tends to change a lot faster than education does...
@MSchechter That's true.
@davidcaolo They had two of these as active student workstations in the school my wife’s teaching at right now: http://t.co/jhjGr7oM
@MSchechter And I could tell you exactly what happens when a school buys 100 iPads for teachers w/no plan on how to use them. Hint: dust.
@davidcaolo The idea of buying 100 iPads for teachers here isn’t fathomable here yet, although that math could change tomorrow.
@MSchechter An iPad bought and paid for is a waste if it sits in a desk drawer or, more often, is simply a game "reward" for work.
@davidcaolo Even my wife’s personal iPad has been far more than a “reward” for both her and her students :)
@MSchechter @davidcaolo Part of the problem is that school districts don’t give their teachers the latitude to take a good tool and use it.
@ianpatrickhines @davidcaolo There are still people who are beginning to innovate here. Just look at what @frasierspears has contributed.
