iPads in the classroom
The introduction of the iPad has evolved from an interesting tool for early adopters to a vital part of education. Many teachers and administrators have taken a leadership role in pioneering this adoption.
As a completely portable learning tool, the iPad camera allows documentation to be taken to a whole different level.
