At the Meridian International (MINT) College in Taguig City, pens, papers and books have been replaced with one device: a tablet computer. Beginning this school year, all freshmen students of MINT College will receive an Apple iPad 2, which they can use for studying, writing notes and sourcing information in and out of the classroom. While many enthusiasts consider the iPad a toy, MINT College believes it is an important tool for education. “It’s only right that we use technology in the classroom,” said Hendrik Kiamzon, chief marketing officer at MINT College.
