The solution: just use fucking books.
Yes, they're heavy and a pain to drag around, but do you seriously have a better idea? They're infinitely versatile and aren't scared of getting tossed around.
iPads as an educational tool has to be the most ridiculous attempt yet at "digitalizing" education.
There's a little-known Steve Jobs video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q82weiAJmaA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q82weiAJmaA) where he says that computers and technology are absolutely no substitute for an environment that promotes curiosity and a thirst to learn.
Also, books don't cause eyestrain, they have insanely fast refresh rates, and you can flip to any one section quickly and easily without tearing your eyes out.
- jogzden 13y agoWhat about something like, let's say, a kindle made for school, which stores the student's textbooks and readings. I'd think that this would be a much better alternative since it has limited use to begin with.
- kunai 13y agoThat's feasible, but schools are too interested in looking "modern" and "sleek" by using Apple devices, so they won't use Kindle because its interoperability with Apple devices is not as good as something like iBooks. Part of it is a ploy to impress parents, part of it is just the "because we can" attitude of the administration.
