The biggest and most oft-heard criticism of the iPad usually revolves around it not behaving like a desktop PC or laptop. The people making this complaint are simply missing the point. Apple aren’t trying to make a laptop replacement, why would they? They make a couple of extremely good ones! The iPad is a new kind of device that asks you to think and work differently.
Nik Peachey's insight:
Some interesting points here, especially the one about the Apple ecosystem.

Join the paradigm shift in pedagogy through the seamless combination of classroom technology and quality teaching. Make informed decisions at the point of instruction with real-time, student feedback.
Nik Peachey's insight:
This is an interesting realtime classroom feedback tool which allows students to respond to classroom input on a range of devices using a range of different formats, from simple true false responses to summaries, image response etc. All responses are then pushed back to the teacher's interface. Interesting tool if you are working with a classroom full of students with mixed mobile devices.

Meaghan recalls her first moments with the iPad and how she and her liaison discovered the variety of new opportunities that this one device presented. One of the first things she used was the ability to invert the colors of the screen. The iPad gives users the opportunity to read predominantly black text on a lighter screen, or to invert the colors and overlay white text on a black screen. This one feature, Meaghan recalls, was "transformative" in her learning of what the iPad could offer her educational experience.
