  • teach Kafka in multimedia, history through “Jeopardy”-like games and math with step-by-step animation of complex problems.

      Finally! We couldn't do that before. And we all KNOW the higher order thinking that goges on in Jeopardy games. Ugh!
  • The iPads cost $750 apiece
    • anonymous
       
      $750 EACH? They couldn't get a laptop for that? One that could do all that this ipad can do AND MORE??
  • Educators, for instance, are still divided over whether initiatives to give every student a laptop have made a difference academically.

      And the reason is that we buy toys and only allow our students to do what they always did before, yet we expect different results. Notice what they say these kids will use these ipads for. Revolutionary? Hardly. Sound education? Not even close.

  • $56,250 for the initial 75

      How many regular laptops could they have bought for that amount? Machines that can do all the ipad can do AND MORE!
  • 32-gigabyte, with case and stylus
    • anonymous
       
      They need 32 gig? I'll be willing to be they don't fill HALF of that. NO music. NO photos. Just apps? This decision was made by someone who thought more is better. Oh, and.. stylus? HUH?
  • play math games, study world maps and read “Winnie the Pooh.”
    • anonymous
       
      Did you hear me screaming on this one? OH BOY! They can read Winnie the Pooh! And finally study world maps. And THEN what?
  • “I think this could very well be the biggest thing to hit school technology since the overhead projector,
    • anonymous
       
      And we know how much the overhead projector raises the level of Bloom's and fosters student-centered environments. It allows the TEACHERS to do things. Not the students.
  • The New York City public schools have ordered more than 2,000 iPads, for $1.3 million

      AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHUUUUUGGGGHGHHHHHH!!!

      Economic recession? WHAT economic recession? Oh my. I hope that folks revisit these 'investments' in two years. There will be NO improvement and they will again blame the technology instead of the fact that it was the WRONG technology!

      Yes, but students won't be able to install it.

Turn Your iPad 1 or 2 into an Interactive Whiteboard (Practical Practice) - 6 views

  •  
    "I recently figured out a way to turn the iPad into an interactive whiteboard. Now, I'm not talking about just drawing on your iPad and projecting that drawing in front of the class, and I'm not talking about using the iPad2 to connect directly into a projector and show what's on the iPad. "
