Please follow the following steps:

1. If you are not sure what an I-Pad is and the potential it has in the classroom, ** please go to __YouTube__: [|www.YouTube.com] and type in 'I-Pads in the classroom' (there are several videos for you to choose from and watch). **

2. Remember to __read__ the comments that are before your comment. 3. Add your comment.

I have recently just finished reading the autobiography of 'Steve Jobs'(an excellent read) and one of the things that Jobs promoted was the use of I-pads in education. Before his death, the I-pad was an area that Jobs discussed with Bill Gates. Both Gates and Jobs felt very strongly about eliminating text books and catering for individualised learning through the I-pad.

I look forward to reading your comments, thoughts and ideas.
