interesting article with pros and cons on the ipad. i still question whethe i touches have the same value, at least for younger grades and smaller hands. In addition, think it is worth waiting for usb and camera features as well as the android versions that are being introduced.

"More and more of society at large, and consequently many students, are
demanding an educational system that works for and with them. These students are

an educator to deal effectively with all types of students in the same
classroom. A student-centered learning environment encourages students to become
independent learners and ultimately to be in charge of their own education."
