Laptops for schools should have been iPads | Delimiter.
For an interesting read, have a look at this recent news article. To emphasise the use of technology and its continuing advancements in todays society, this article discusses how the use of Ipads within the classroom could have been a more successful government initiative rather than the laptops for schools program. Yet, it is hardly the government to blame, as Ipads were yet to be revealed by Apple when this decision came into place. It just goes to show how hard it is for educators, and even our government, to keep up with the fast paced advances in our technology!
Also, today I found that the ‘Press This’ Icon that you can drag onto your Toolbar makes it very easy to share information on the internet such as the article I have attached to this Blog post. You simply press the ‘Press This’ button whilst browsing the web and it will immediately bring up a new blog post page, with the article link attached and ready to go! It really makes life easier!
