could we be using the apple ipad to teach in school?

I remember the back breaking load of my college text books lovingly. Not to mention the crazy prices and the fact that a textbook usually isn't more than a couple of semesters used. Many students and schools already use to replace laptops / notebooks and / or enhance textbook curriculum, but there are penalties for their use. If you are in high-end models you are looking to invest £ 5 for a laptop and accessories. Also, despite making claims, expect more than one or two hours from a laptop battery is foolish. The power cable shuffle that a special laptop students schedule has days to perform a whole is nightmarish to think about. How could the iPad to improve this situation? The price is a low-end notebook or netbook the same as a 16GB iPad, so a wash there. If the battery lives up to Apple's assets are taken 10 hours a typical student ' s schedule. A version of iWork will be available for the students iPad basic office-style applications. While the iPad doesn't do handwriting recognition out of the box, a student could build his microphone to record lectures. The iPad is definitely potential to support the students, but only time will tell whether it can replace a laptop. Another place an iPad pupils could prove useful in research. is a company called Questia is a subscription-based service to students, which allows for the easy retrieval of journals and scientific publications. This service is available for the iPhone and any web accessible computer could improve the ease of access for a service such as iPad only promises. Given time to mature, I think the iPad and their applications could be the high rent level schools and students to a degree.
