Technology and Hope When touch-enabled computing was introduced to the world, no one could have anticipated that this technology might help open up a new world of communication, learning and social possibilities for autistic children.

shared by Eileen Schroeder on 19 Mar 14 - No Cached

One of the biggest challenges educators face when rolling out 1:1 computing initiatives is how the devices are to be used by teachers to improve teaching standards, and what devices are going to be the most suitable.

Tablet devices are hardly new; Apple's own Newton, introduced in 1987, could fairly be called an ancestor to the iPad with its tablet form, tethered pen touch interface, and easy portability.
