From the article: "Still, students have had to learn to think of the iPads primarily as a learning tool, not a toy. Teachers and administrators have developed new strategies to deal with some apps' inherent distractions. And, perhaps most significantly, the use of iPads as a take-home device has raised questions about Internet safety: Who's responsible for a student's online behavior once they leave school?"

From the article: With 33 years of experience as a school librarian under her belt, Snyder said getting adults to understand the changing role and "look" of the library is an ongoing battle. "A lot of people still think of the library as a warehouse where you go to get a book or a magazine," she said. "To deal with it we just strive to be a model for helping people understand that a media center is a lot more than just a place for physical books."

"Tweens value privacy, seek privacy from both strangers and known others online, and use a variety of strategies to protect their privacy online," write researchers Katie Davis and Carrie James, who conducted in-depth interviews with 42 middle-school students for the study. "Tweens' online privacy concerns are considerably broader than the 'stranger danger' messages they report hearing from teachers."

After a pilot, Salisbury found iPads didn't support the kind of content creation, such as making movies or presentations, the district wanted in its classrooms. The five-year overhaul strives to move away from lectures to student-driven content creation, Ziegenfuss said. “Tablets have not quite evolved to the point of easily creating content,” he said, adding that might be totally different in a few years.

From the article: "The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I'd always done. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practice." Interesting to think about going forward.

"Three days a week, as the school day draws to a close, the children in Ms. Aaron's class sit down to compose a message about what they have been doing all day. They then send it out to their parents and relatives through Twitter, the stamping grounds of celebrities and politicians, where few kindergartners have been known to venture."
