    "I am revisiting this topic of enhancing students creativity using iPad apps for the second time this year.

Creativity is all about creation and iPad is an ideal device to support this creative thinking. Check out the apps I have handpicked for you today and share with us if you have other suggestions :"

They had the option to have netbooks, laptops, and other education technology but it was iPads all the way."

But technology used improperly is like the human voice used improperly -it can harm. Anyway, since this is making the rounds, you might want to take a look.
