Ipads
Using the iPads has been interesting. There are definitely useful sides to it, such as the artistic programs (for class projects), the translators and dictionaries (foreign language help), and the kindle/iBook/adobe reader programs. One problem is finding a good website/source of free, useful ebooks/kindle books......I had difficulties when trying to find books for English and history reports, since most sites require payment or a credit card. Spell check on the iPad is immensely annoying as well....it frequently changes my sentences around. I've just been told how to turn t off, though, so hopefully this solves it. That being said, there's definitely a lot of ways an iPad can be a distraction, too, which is less positive. In my opinion though, the iPads are pretty helpful.
