iPad Brain Change LaCue 2010
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using iPads in education. Some key benefits include the iPad's long battery life, availability of educational apps, and ability to access resources like the internet and cloud storage. However, managing large numbers of iPads can be challenging, as it requires syncing devices, choosing cloud servers, and ensuring updates are pushed out properly. Printing is also limited on iPads. Overall, the iPad is positioned as a potentially cost-effective solution for schools, but active management is required to address issues like security and connectivity.
