Overall, I feel like this article is a great overview of how the Apple ipad can be used in a K-12 classroom. It is not a technology that was created for the classroom but it's practical application in the classroom is very clear with the various applications available. This is one of the newest Apple products to become available for the classroom and it's good to see that there are a lot of opportunities for learning using this new technology. I think this gives us as educators a way to understand how it can really fit into our teaching.
