  • wow, Apple just incentivized every college student to get an iPad
  • The problem is that the cheapest iPad is still $500. What high school student is going to buy that? Basically none — their parents will have to. And that’s fine for some students, but not all. Not even a high percent, I’d imagine. In the inner-cities — again, where education is even more of an issue — it’s probably even less likely of a purchase.
  • That goes against Apple’s stated mission that students should now buy (or get via redemption code) all iBooks textbooks and keep them forever, keeping their notes, highlights, etc.

  • absolutely needs fixing,
  • The education system in this country
  • next iPad is announced, the current model drops in price to something like $400 — or even $300 — that’s still an expensive sell to high school students and/or their parents and/or their schools. If every kid in the world already had an iPad, this would be the most brilliant program ever. Unfortunately, Apple needs to sell at least a few billion more iPads to get to that point.
  • But we need to get the tablets in their hands to get to that future.

    Another great article on how technology continues to change how education is done.  While the product specific in iPads may not be around for ever, generationally, it may be what provides the type of revolution in a watershed way, that helps transform education the way that mass production of books did with Gutenberg.

      Love the speculation here. It'd pretty brash, but also plausible.

    Be interesting to use this in a class discussion on the viability of the iPad or other similar devices as content consumption and/or creation devices along side the debate that has to do with how textbooks are changing.
