I am not s...Thanks for a thought provoking article.<br />I am not so sure that tablets are "All about the apps" anymore. I think it is more about productivity. The sooner we can forget about the cute apps and focus on collaboration, writing, calculating etc. the better. <br />We need to be using GoogleDocs, Evernote, blogs, wikki's etc more and these are cross platform. We can use IOS, Android and Windows for all of these.<br /><br />In the higher grades, grade 6-7, children should be learning to code and tablets are not going to allow kids to do that. This would mean that the child has to have a computer/laptop AND a tablet. Perhaps the Notebook idea as some schools have been moving to (away from tablets) in the USA is the right way to go. <br />Whichever apps the teacher uses should be able to function as well on a tablet as on a notebook.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812795116519502492noreply@blogger.com
