(@wstites on Twitter) "The fact that the iPad is not a stand-alone device, that it requires a com­puter to be bound to for man­age­ment, is one of the biggest fac­tors keep­ing me from look­ing at it as a replace­ment for a lap­top in a 1to1 environment." - Shelley Krause

The iPad in Education and the Questions | williamstites.net

(@butwait on Twitter) "So how does a tool like an iPad fit into our hopes for our students? Beyond the possibility of it supplanting textbooks, how might we use it to support the development of curious, collaborative, intrinsically motivated and ethical lifelong learners? And if we could develop some apps of our own (we probably could), what would those look like?" - Shelley Krause

Mark Belinsky: Horrified by Schools That Give Every Student an iPad

The iPad is magic to children. Press a button and it does everything that you want it to. The problem is that it doesn't tell you how the magic happens.

Cathy Davidson (@catinstack on Twitter) "If your school district has embraced student-centered learning, if it has redeveloped its curriculum, and if it no longer thinks that End of Grade testing measures what students today do learn and need to learn, than computer-aided learning and digital learning and learning as play are wonderful. Embrace those iPads! But the metrics, the methods, the goals and the assessments all need to change. No Child Left Behind, our national educational policy, is based on early twentieth-century concepts of efficient testing that was explicitly designed to make learning resemble the production of Model T's on Ford's assembly line. We still have that institutional basis undergirding schools in an era where there is an app for anything. Simply throwing iPads into the classroom cannot begin to educate kids to the world they are inheriting." - Shelley Krause
