iPads do make sense for schools

Clark Quinn

However, his recent post against iPads in the classroom seemed to me to miss a couple of points. So writing isn’t horribly impeded on iPads for younger kids.

Clark Quinn

A new iDevice is always cool, and while it’s not the first smart watch (nor was the iPhone the first smartphone, the iPad not the first tablet, nor the iPod the first music play), Apple has a way of making the experience compelling.
