How the iPad Is Changing Education

Technology is changing schools and the iPad is one piece of technology that has made a great impact.  One positive of the iPad is that it can be used from Pre-K through high school.  One positive point from the article is that although iPads cost money, ultimately districts will be able to use ebooks which are cheaper and more convenient.  The iPad engages students and could be used by all ages.  An educator in the article is quick to point out that the technology should not be used alone to teach.  I have teacher friends that use the iPad and my family members have iPads.  I have seen how easy they are to use and the educational games do keep my young nephews' attention.  Again, it is a good supplement that should be used in the classroom.
