    This looks like a really useful app. Free and when paired with its other free companion with a similar name, you'll have much better understanding and control of your data usage...and maybe save some money on the process.

      Of course they will!

      What of our tacit knowledge about learning, including that knowledge about the students?  Is this no good?  Can we not act upon what we know and not solely upon sterile data from a test?

      Granted, the iPad has potential in school, but this article, among many others, is so vague at how the device is different other than the screen size and a mention of it's price tag.   iPads seem to be going the way of the IWB.   I still contend that these won't be successful until they are made personal.  Meaning, give it to the kid to have for the entire year.  Let them take it home, play with it, read on it, correspond on it and make their learning personal.   I'm currently in a pilot with iPads and the students are lukewarm to the device because they know it will go away or that they won't be able to make it work for them personally.

  • Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Touch and Go will bring readers reviews, commentary, and news about this exciting new format that's making its way onto iPads and into pockets via phones and iPods. Our focus will be on book and original story apps and enhanced books, but we plan to push those parameters as we move forward.
