iPads in the Classroom

This interesting article "iPads Could Hinder Teaching, Professors Say" in the March 13, 2011 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education discusses the negative impact of the iPads. http://chronicle.com/article/iPads-for-College-Classrooms-/126681/ It makes a point that I did not think of: the slow typing (no keyboard) makes taking notes more difficult. I know one of my students bought the eBook version of the text for class but she cannot cite the page numbers because there are none. Still, I think I will get an iPad.
