With the launch of the Apple Ipad, we watch with interest how this might affect the personal computing devices debate in schools. The early signs look promising and there is some movement on this around the world, one of the first stories to come to light related to schools in Australia. We will keen a close eye on these sorts of stories and indeed the hardware manufactures as they manouvre in the market place.
Update; Interesting that there have been several mentions of the fact that one of the key markets that the ipad is aimed at is the education market, in particular with the inclusion of e-books within the itunes store means the possibility of e-textbooks being a real opportunity. Adding weight to this are stories concerning textbook publishers seriously discussing these possibilities.
