iPads in Georgia?

Aparently Atlanta Georgia is gonna be trading in some of their text books for iPads. the iPad can give all the same things as a text book plus some. The iPad has apps that can help students very easily. A lot of the apps are anywhere from free to no more then a few dollars. Thats a lot cheaper then a calculator for example. If a student needed one of those, then they just download it for free in the matter of minutes. It is also alot easier on the students that are carrying these 50lbs backpack. instead they can just carry one iPad. Atlanta Georgia is doing something good for this country and Burlington is following in there footsteps. Ive never been more happy to say that im a Burlington High School student.

  1. Devin,

    I am glad you are excited about the change. Have you done any reading on an i-pad or e-reader? I am wondering how students will adapt to this change. It seems like students usually make these changes pretty easily.
