  57. Will it be transformational? It will offer a more affordable tool than a complete laptop. Its portability will encourage experiential learning. (Can’t you just envision a class standing out in the wetlands with their iPads, collecting data?) It will offer new ways to engage students with text.
  58. Will it be transformational? It will encourage “paperless” classrooms. It will ignite students’ interest levels (as most new technology seems to do… at least initially). It’s “magical and revolutionary,” qualities that will evolve and become more apparent.
  59. But… It will not be transformational if we continue to do the same old things that we’ve always done, just with an expensive, shiny, new toy.
  60. If Apple can do for the K-12 textbook market what they did for music, the iPad will change forever the way kids are taught in school.
