are one of the iPad schools and yes, they are a consumer device but having said
that .. these eBooks have a huge potential to leverage change and most of the
issues that you raise are solvable. Check this OLPC XO3 video out about the
open mode linux model due for release. Don't hang around waiting for stuff to
happen, you can get some learning traction with this stuff now using Apple
iPads.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILMzuS2qZfc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILMzuS2qZfc</a><br>
<br>
First thing is to get one for yourself and school administration team. Then you
will learn first hand what how where what etc. Don't skimp on the docking
station. It is also wise to consider kicking off with a class set too. I hope
to put something together to talk about these tablet computers at the VITTA
conference .. if nobody else is already (hint??). The EdTech Crew have also
been reviewing them in their podcasts. You can always return it to the library
for loans etc when you have had your fill of tablet computing.<br>
<br>
Like other schools, we are in the same boat .. holding over the residual funds
left from the NSSCP grant for further iPads instead of netbooks or considering
wider deployments across entire year levels. Kind of glad we purchased Macbooks
on trolleys with our first stage. I also have a good contact we are working
with called Mel Wilson who has a tonne of experience (details above) who can
answer some of your questions. I have had a few &quot;aha!&quot; moments myself
so feel free to call for an honest chat about where this stuff fits in. I'll
share my phone number off list. :-)<br>
