iPads At Buckley

After reading this article, it has become apparent to me that I am not the only one who knows that there is so much more we can do with the iPad. I know that it is the first year the school is utilizing these devices and it's going to take some time to get used to them, but I know that using the iPads in school is only beneficial. Besides the fact that it will take a good ten pounds off my backpack after school, it really does make learning a hands on experience in ever sense of the word. I believe that specifically in Dr. Forman's class, we should use the iPads for turning in and receiving our work! It would minimize the amount of paper the school uses, especially the English department, and it would make everything more efficient! If I was to receive my graded work from my iPad, I would never worry about losing it or misplacing it. Furthermore I believe that reading through the iPads is great. The highlighting feature, though annoying at times, is very helpful and really gives my reading more purpose and assistance! To conclude, I believe that we should use the iPads for more than reading in class, I believe that it should be used to grade, submit assignments and return graded work.
