iPad --Magical piece of technology

Bravo! Apple iPad is a large multi touch screen that lets you navigate and view web pages one page at a time. Navigation appears to be a simple enough- use your finger to scroll through the page viewing one page at a time either in landscape or portrait mode.


It is definitely an item on my wish list. I am particularly impressed with the built in iPod and iTunes application. It would be nice to have my music within reach when vacating somewhere in the tropics or attending a conference or even catching up on the latest episodes of 'Fringe'. I am sure this device will make its way into the classroom at some point.
What possibilities does this revolutionary device bring that would be useful in your classroom?


It has the power to transform the classroom environment. I am thinking Mobile Lab!
