I loooooovvvvvvve my iPad. I primarily use it to browse the internet, however, I do read magazines on it, watch movies, listen to music and play games. I don't share it with my kids. :)
With 5 of us in my family, someone is usually on the iPad before me. When I do get a chance, I browse, check my email, before it's ripped from my grasp.
I call my iPad as my "computer lite." I mostly use it when I am looking for the portability of my computer without the need to lug my computer around. I have written papers while in the car, posted to Moodle at a Starbucks, and surfed the Internet from my couch.
I am still getting used to the iPad but am enthusiastic about the potential of it as a mobile learning tool. I can see taking it along on a hike to identify birds, plants, etc. I do a lot of walking and the laptop gets heavy!

ReplyDeleteIt's not big or fast enough for me to do any real work on, but for consuming media, it's really good.

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteWork sometimes equals trolling the internet for cool sites to give my kids, so I voted work. --dm
