QUESTION: Our school system will buy iPad tablet computers for junior and senior high school students this fall. ANSWER: The apps for an iPad won’t work on another type of computer. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that tablet computers are a waste of money, or that your school ought to be buying laptops instead. Your school is one of many that are embracing tablet computers for their potential as highly portable electronic textbooks and multimedia teaching devices. While it remains to be seen whether tablet computers will improve teaching, it seems likely that a student’s college experience is going to involve tablet computers as much as laptops.
