I was asked what I thought about the iPad in schools, and as I thought it through, I saw both pluses and minuses. This, I think, would provide the portability for field moves with screen real estate for creation and communication. At the end of a conversation the other day, the topic turned to technologies in schools.

First, however, let me add in a recent discovery: I was alerted to a new form of app for the iPad, a combination of a comic book and interactive games. When we can have tablets providing ways for learners to interact with content, each other, and a learning mentor, we have a potentially transformative environment.

As you might expect, they’re oriented towards Windows, with no information for a Mac user provided, but their website shows how to load music on them. I didn’t win, but paid an expo price (or so I thought) for a HyperShield stylus for my iPad. They fit easily in my luggage and are now a travel partner.

However, I was growing through the diagrams that I’d created on my iPad, and discovered one that I’d frankly forgotten. A group project could provide a documented solution, or a concept-expression video or performance. On the way to the recent Up To All Of Us un conference (#utaou), I hadn’t planned an agenda.

And that's quite a few; in my office right now is an iMac DV, a Powerbook Wallstreet and also a G4, as well as an old and a new MacBook Pro, iPhone, and an iPad. Not just the iPhone, but the whole reengineering of the relationship between hardware provider and telcos. And let's not dismiss the software.

It helps that the first successful instance, the iPad, has an overall aesthetic that’s elegant, so media look good and the user experience feels natural. When we’ve got that capability, we have a market to provide more meaningful experiences to learners. It’s in your arms, instead of at arms-length.

For instance, when the iPad was first announced, I didn’t want one. Or to prep for that upcoming meeting and provide some minimal but useful info. I admit I was not a Google Glass ‘Explorer’ (and now the program has ended). Note that this is not what’s currently on offer, largely.

Naturally, some domain-specific learning skills would emerge, but this would provide a more flexible system to match how specializations are changing so dynamically, serve as a model for life, and put the responsibility of faculty members more to mentorship and less to lecture. Those are topics for another day. So, does this make sense?

Yesterday, in case you’ve been living under a rock, Apple released their take on the tablet computer, the iPad. The overall question is whether the iPad, too, is a game-changer. Bill Brandon of the eLearning Guild has already opined about the mlearning potential of the iPad. This is, to me, a major win (with a caveat).

At the Upside Learning Blog, this post (which I found through the CLO group on LinkedIn) proclaims that the elearning industry is down on the iPad. As I blogged, it’s huge for publishers, providing both a channel for richer media and interactivity, and a new unified market channel. Gov’t?
