The iPad's Powerful Academic Potential

[TechNews]

 My gut response when I heard that some school districts are rolling out iPads to elementary, middle and high school kids was, "Wow, lucky little goobers." And that reaction was quickly followed by, "Wait a minute, iPads? What's wrong with a good old fashioned textbook? Are schools going to start showing 30-second video clips as a teaching method now?" I can imagine that a teacher saying, "Turn to chapter 6, page 218," would instead say something like, "OK, class, tap the Geometry in Action app and we'll start exactly where we left off yesterday."
