The school that gives every student an iPad | News | TechRadar UK - 0 views
-
The iPad project arose from day-to-day demands within the school. As Head of Computing, a dozen iMacs were fixed in Fraser's classroom, and a dozen MacBooks were available for booking; but with teachers increasingly wanting to provide pupils with web access, pressure and demand grew.
-
Apple's tablet dealt with every problem the school had with the iPod touch: it boasted a decent software keyboard and projector connection, and Apple made office apps available for sale. On importing his own iPad from the US, Fraser was sold: "On the first day, it ran and ran.

Good for us all to think about. And good to know about an article like this. I'm seeing a little backlash against "technology" like this in various articles. I'll try to gather them up.
