Teachers in Maine say iPads 'provide no educational function in the classroom' A school committee meeting in Maine might just reveal why Apple's iPads are having a tough time breaking into the classroom. Last week, a technology director for Auburn district schools presented a study that indicated that students and teachers in grades 7 through 12 overwhelmingly favor laptops over iPads, reports the Lewiston-Auburn Sun Journal. But the most surprising part of the study is how some of the teachers and students feel about iPads. One teacher cited by the study said that "provide no educational function in the classroom. Students use them as toys," adding that word processing is "near to impossible." One teacher even said "the iPads are a disaster." More at: finance.yahoo.com I don't believe this for a minute. Maine (being so far north) NEEDS an iPad to function as a hand warmer in the wintertime. You really can't concentrate on your studies if you think your fingers might fall off. o~~~ O
