I am a lover of all things Apple. I have an iMac desktop computer, a MacBook Air, and pretty much every type of iPod Apple has ever made. My new iPad 2 is my pride and joy. Apple does make terrific products. However, just because something is cool and attractive to kids, it does not mean that schools that use iPads will have higher student scores on state tests. I am concerned when I read that several schools and school districts are jumping on the "iPad will revolutionize education" bandwagon. Schools are getting grants and using district funds to purchase iPad sets for one or more classrooms. However,there are several questions that need to be answered before spending money on this technology. Is the iPad ready for the classroom? Not quite yet.
