Module 1 Assignment 1


Blog Post

The iPad is the technology I have chosen for this assignment.

The one thing I do not like about the Ipad is they need flash and Apple makes and deals with their own flash.  Another issue I have is only one person at a time can use the ipad.  Even in a group, it is centralized to one person.  I have the cord in which I can attach my ipad to my projector, but it is only as direct instruction with everyone answering.  The one attribute I will give the ipad is it is great for individualized instruction.  One problem other than the ones stated are the ipad will only use programs from Apple.  What would make this technology even better would be if it were interactive with more than one person and it would work with all programs.  Another problem is there is no storage on this machine. There is not a USB drive, an SD card port or any way to attach an external drive to add more storage. 

A great website to find out about the iPad is the iPad Academy.  The link is listed below:


This website has a plethora of information about the iPad.
