For Fall 2010 and Spring 2011, we used a technology grant to test out the viability of iPads to be used for not only ebooks and web surfing but for a genuine laptop replacement due to our MySCC/Citrix ability to access programs like MS Office directly through the iPads.

Feb. 21-24 Journalism
My students and I only had one day this week to work on the iPads since Monday was Presidents Day. We are planning to use the iPad in two weeks as "clickers" for taking polls in class. They will also begin AP Style contests and more current events quizzes. Last semester, we didn't realize until it was too late that the student versions of the textbook could be downloaded. This became a problem for students who didn't have wifi access at home or in places they frequented. This semester, my students downloaded their textbooks so that they can use the books anywhere and at any time. I recommend it if you have your students use iPads and ebooks.
