Mobile Learning using iPads to Go Paperless

It is being suggested that the iPad may be a transformative tool in education. This claim is based on the fact that the iPad can house all resources (books, readings, video, audio) for a particular class, provide a mechanism for doing research, provide a vehicle for maintaining communication and do it all in an easy to carry around, quick starting, simple interface.






We are hoping the iPad can be used in education as a mechanism for replacing "dead tree" (paper) versions of resources in the classroom. Our program hopes to take the next step by focusing on how the iPad platform apps might best be used to achieve specific teaching and learning goals that align with the 21st Century Technological advancements.
