"I would agree with many of your points except a few.
Patti described that her grant was for a tablet, therefore I made a suggestion for that. I think the ASUS Transformer Prime is more along the lines of what is needed than the iPad for…"

Jon Entous replied to Patti Yohe's discussion Can't use Skype - anyone else have this issue?"If you are looking for a tablet (since that is what you said you grant would pay for) then I would suggest the ASUS Transformer Prime. It is an Android device so it will run many (if not most) of the Android apps which run on other Android…"

Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"If you can get the downloadable java files (.jar) you can actually run them on the tablet using a java emulator program. The only problem is getting the files from the websites. I believe you can get the ones from NLVM when you buy the…"
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Apple has made it clear that it will never officially support Flash on the iPad. Until all or most educational websites use HTML5 instead of flash this will continue to be an issue for iPad use in the classroom."
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"No doubt the iPad does generate excitement."
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"For the chemistry stuff, I found one site below. All I can say is that after looking at the apps on your list, the level of high school chemistry must have moved light years beyond what I had in high…"
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Like you I do not wish to enter into a debate about which is better the iPad or others. I can see good points on both sides. My point was to show that for middle and high school students it might be good to know that having flash will…"
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"I only wish there was a way for tablets to run native JAVA apps as there many great online apps for math instruction at places like the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives.

Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Just to warn you, I am making no claims that the games at the link I just gave are any good at all. I was trying to make a point mostly about the availability of a ton of educational content (both good and bad) through a flash enabled web…"

Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Thats true. I would agree that for middle and high school students the order of tech for use in school should proceed in the following order:
1. A full laptop (can do full web and apps)
2. A netbook (can do full web and most apps)
3. An Android…"
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Mike that is an app which goes to show the issue with most apps for both iPad and Android when it comes to education. As essentially a quiz and short lesson app, it does what it was designed to do, but it doesn't go far enough.…"
Jon Entous replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"There are plenty of apps which you can use on both Android and iOS that will allow students to write out their math work, but the problem is that they are just glorified Paint programs. They do nothing to process or interpret the math work.…"
