I have been wondering just how useful iPads in the classroom are. After reading this article, weighing out the pros and cons that teachers have noticed they seem to be more positive than negative. I think as long as teachers have had proper training with what the iPads have to offer in the classroom than these are a great idea. I would really hope that the school does not simply buy the iPads and issue them out without adequate training. I don't think $50 is too much to ask from the parents…
I have been wondering just how useful iPads in the classroom are. After reading this article, weighing out the pros and cons that teachers have noticed they seem to be more positive than negative. I think as long as teachers have had proper training with what the iPads have to offer in the classroom than these are a great idea. I would really hope that the school does not simply buy the iPads and issue them out without adequate training. I don't think $50 is too much to ask from the parents to insure the iPads but there are plenty of families that do not have that kind of money to simply put out for this device. Some parents, and even teachers might look at this tool as a distraction as stated in the article but that might be something that we just have to weigh out our options with. Overall I think there are more pros than cons with the iPads in the classroom and will most likely only improve as time goes on.
