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. I couldn't make the battery die, and I realised this alone would transform the technology experience in the classroom."

This was a thought-provoking article with a lot of interesting ideas around how to use the "back-channel" in the classroom. I was especially taken aback by all of the comments that essentially lambasted these teachers for integrating 21c learning experiences into the classroom. One commenter said: "It needs to be explained to teacher Erin Olson that teachers should be encouraging students to extricate themselves from all the electronic gadgetry and to pay attention." Ah yes, wouldn't it be nice if all of students sat quietly in their desks and listened attentively with their hands folded, ready to take in the sage wisdom of the instructor standing in front of the room. Unreal.

While many schools still do not allow cell phones, an iPod Touch bridges that gap. Wifi access provides a tremendous opportunity for students and teachers to browse the web, type a response, record audio or calculate a problem.
