  • These devices were designed to have one or two at home, not 30 in a classroom.
  • Because of the personal nature of the iOS, moving presentations or word processing documents from a shared iPad to linked storage is difficult.
  • When teachers want to get new apps, it's not simple to put them on iPads for students.

Others embed videos, make e-books using the open standard EPUB (short for electronic publication), and create individual blogs where students respond to literature they read.
  • “It allows them to be more like an orchestra conductor working with this section and then that section.”
