  • The iPads cost $750 apiece, and they are to be used in class and at home during the school year to replace textbooks, allow students to correspond with teachers and turn in papers and homework assignments, and preserve a record of student work in digital portfolios.

      There taking the full concept of iPads to the level they should be used. A device that helps them manage thier digital lifes! Cool!
  • Educators also laud the iPad’s physical attributes, including its large touch screen (about 9.7 inches) and flat design, which allows students to maintain eye contact with their teachers. And students like its light weight, which offers a relief from the heavy books that weigh down their backpacks.

  • they have overlooked less costly options, like smartphones that offer similar benefits at a fraction of the iPad’s base cost of about $500

      Ok, I'm all for the discussion of "smarphones" but the reality is you can't read for an extended time on a "smartphone." Again it is those physical characteristics that make the iPad so powerful. It is the "just right" size.
