Why can't we just facilitate the use of all the content that the internet has to offer? It certainly would be cheaper, and it certainly would be more like real life.

We hope to expand our 1:1 iPad initiative next year to the 6th grade and roll it out to 7th nad 8th grades in subsequent years. This announcement by Apple makes the possibilities only more enticing for this generation growing up with this technology. I wrote a bit about this on my blog at www.edu21k12.net. Check it out when you get a chance - would love to get your feedback!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />NishantNishant Mehtahttp://twitter.com/NishantMehtanoreply@blogger.com
