iPads in education

eSchoolNews has a story today about a school's experience with iPads... 

The more I read and hear about debates such as this, the more I sense they are similar to the Mac vs PC debates we all had in 1995 or so. My advice is to find something that appears to fit your budget and use it... use it well so that you know the features (both technological and pedagogical) that you need --not the ones the vendor or the blogger or the textbook says you need-- and then make further later decisions in a more informed manner.

Just like the Mac-PC debates were woefully uninformed and focused on something that didn't really matter; the current tablet debates are also uninformed...
