Does the iPad foster or hinder creativity? Is it a comprehensive tool or just a mere distraction? Do we use the iPad just because it makes our classroom look cool? Are we missing the forest for the trees here? Delete the scoop?

"This evening Google announced a great update to Google Play Books. You can now upload your own PDFs and EPUB files to Google Play Books. Upload your files and you can read them on your iPad or Android device with the Google Play Books app (click here for iOS app, click here for Android app). When you upload your files you will be able to bookmark, highlight, and the dictionary tools just like you can with any other book in the Google Books app. Directions for uploading files to Google Play Books are included below."

Yes, I think Moocs are great for making learning possible for those who don't have access to good classrooms here in US and also globally. But we, in higher education will continue to face the challenges regarding engaging students in learning ( curricular and co-curricular ) and the challenge of institutions shifting their paradigm from a teaching institution to a learning institutions.

We like a magic bullet, a one trick fix to complex problems. Hence our conversations about STEM, CORE etc. HR has a more nuanced assessment. Some of the tech we're playing with, MOOCs for instance, open another path that some may want to take.
This is a good reminder not to let the means become the end. We've already been down that road and look where we've ended up.

iPads have certainly become a highly desired commodity in education. Apple is reporting that schools are purchasing iPads by a ratio of 2:1 over MacBooks. However, that rush to purchase the latest technologies often precedes the careful planning and preparation that’s crucial to their success as educational tools. Stated simply, technology alone doesn’t have the capacity to improve education. It needs to be woven into a holistic approach to education that encompasses thorough planning and ongoing review of the skills and competencies required by the rapidly changing society that characterizes life in the 21st century.
