But for this technology ready to be used use by the world of education, and for to the world of education to be prepared to use it, we still need to take quite a long mile. For educational purposes, iPod Touch, iPhone and other smartphones are still easier to use, manage, more advanced, and have much more applications ready for classroom. We all know that the earliest iPad need to go through numerous phases of adjustments and upgrades before it can be as functional as the current iPad. Complaints are likely heard: heavy, charging issues, and unable to multitask. But in time, iPad will become bigger and also more beneficial for students then these devices already mentioned.
Schools have to also note that when iPad started to be widely used, that will be the end of netbook. Netbook was meant to bridge PC and handheld devices, but tablet computers are that bridge. Spending your money for buying netbook just because they are smaller and cheaper compared to regular laptops is a foolish and thoughtless act.
