It seems as though there are new technologies or devices launching on a monthly basis to help us do things better and faster! The recent release of Apple's iPad is no exception. In short, it seems to be an overgrown iPhone that you use for virtually anything but to make a phone call (well not yet anyway). Some describe it as the iPhone and laptop reproducing. Whatever your take, one thing is for sure, it will become a part of the educational world one way or the other.
Kevin Cummings of EdGalaxy (a cool site for nerdy teachers) warns red flags should go up when products claim to "revolutionize education" when they haven't been used extensively to prove theory. A recent blog post from his site list the pros and cons to using the iPad in an educational setting. He references battery life, multi-tasking, breakability, cheap apps, and more.
