Yes I can see how it would serve many purposes from an administrative side, making you more flexible and mobile, having all your information at a glance as well as changeable . As for students, I could imagine that in our fast-paced times where they are introduced to TVs and technology so early on, their attention span as well as ability and way to learn change from the ways we learned. Maybe the kiddies *need* to be taught in ways that embrace this new environment. I would love to see some studies where it's been tested in school settings as to what effects it truly had in a classroom. -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles

In reply to: usmgrad 's message, "I can see it used there, smaller than a laptop, less cumbersome than a file folder but bigger than an iphone. School applications that have been considered on the admin side - being able to see student's schedules, real time attendance, emergency contact info. In addition to using them at inclass room teacher evaluations, notes at meetings." on 04:43:03 10/25/11 Tue
