Here's are some interesting blog postings about the iPad and education:
- From PBS about how the iPad is projected to affect education.
- From Wandering Academic.
- From Stratepedia: 5 Ways the iPad and Education Could Go Together. (Love his field trip idea!)
- Mashable: Textbook Publishers Embrace iPad Apps for Education.
- Ideas for iPad Apps from Edutechnophobia. His idea of using the iPad as a virtual lab is genius!
How do you think the iPad will or can be used in education?
