The iPad will allows us to have many books and the internet in one place. The books on the iPad can range from educational textbooks to books for enjoyments like many e-readers.

====We can only begin to speculate the impact the iPads will have on education in the future. Teachers are very hopeful for all of the potential the iPads have. Students are already used to using technology and are very impatient in their learning. They are used to having immediate gratification and the iPad will allow for more of this between having internet access and an abundance of educational applications. The iPad has the ability to not only allow students to view word versions of their textbook but also create an interactive experience. Students will have a greater understanding to be inactive with their textbook and information instead of just sitting back. ====

The answer in this article seems to be a resounding no. There are many features of the iPad such as its portability and capability to view multimedia that is going to make it a key component to enhancing learning. However creating large projects and multimedia projects, computers and netbooks seem to win out. There are many apps available to make the iPad an engaging environment will make the students interested in learning. Overall, the iPad can be used as a great supplement to learning but will complement, not replace, other pieces of technology already in the classroom. ====

This article recommends 20 different apps that can be used by both teachers and students and are worth checking out. Here are some of the highlights. Cram is an app that allows you access to the internet and a bank of questions. As a student, you can quiz yourself, and as a teacher, you can create assessments. Sundry Notes is a free app that is a great organizer that allows you to import .pdf files, make drawings and work on virtual graph paper. Docs Anywhere is similar to Sundry Notes. Docs Anywhere is capable of reading word, excel, and .pdf files and transporting them through a USB cable or iTunes. Mathematical Formulas is an app that gives you access to formulas as well as examples showing how the formulas work. This is another app that can be used to make assessments. Mobile Air Mouse is an app that allows you to use your iPad as a remote control, trackpad and keyboard. PI83 Graphing Calculator is an app you can purchase for 99 cents. The app is just like having a TI83 graphing calculator and has functions to do statistics, trigonometry, algebra, and matrices problems as well as keeps screen shots so you can access what you were doing later.

==== <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-weight: normal;">The iPad2 has a variety of new features that will continue to enhance education. One of these features is facetime. This will allow students and teachers to see each other face to face during lectures. The camera will also allow teachers to show their students visuals and work through problems together. It has been said that remote learning can be just as effective as in-classroom learning. In the classroom the iPad can be projected onto the big screen using mirror imaging. Finally, the WI-FI capabilities will allow access to the internet and it’s wealth of information at the touch of your fingers. ====

====<span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-top: 0in;">Reed College is one of the top tier universities in the use of technology. They were in the search for a piece of technology that would allow for a paperless classroom. When the iPad came out, they brought it in for a few classes, professors, and students to try out. The students were able to read course material as well as interact with it. They can highlight a passage as well as find references materials if needed. The iPad can store their notes to make studying easier. Reed College also considered if a tablet device, such as the iPad, would be a distraction in the classroom. The results came back that there were less distractions with the iPad than a laptop since the students couldn’t hide what they were doing as easy. Overall, the iPad seems to be a powerful device that can find it’s home in the classroom. ====

====<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-top: 0in;">This article seems to agree with other stuff that I’ve heard that the iPad won’t replace computers in the classroom completely. The iPad offers many applications that will make learning more engaging. One benefit of the iPad in the classroom is the ability to only do one thing at time. That means students have to be focused on the task at hand and can’t be distracted by instant messaging or having multiple windows opened. ====
