Kate Ellis"That popularity is likely increase this fall. Universities and schools around the nation--and even the world--are distributing iPads to students and faculty to start the new school year. Some are using the device to lure talented freshmen; others hope faculty and students will merely experiment with the tablet as a learning tool. But a few educators are betting the iPad will herald a revolution in the classroom, once-and-for-all displacing musty textbooks in favor of a mobile multimedia device that can engage students in new and innovative ways."

"It seems like we're putting the cart before the horse. Here's a piece of hardware--figure out what you want to do with it," Paterson said. "A lot of these devices folks have put out have a lot of hype and end up sitting in drawers."

an ACU-built assessment tool that lets him instantly quiz the entire class using polls, true-false questions and open-ended essay queries. He believes that tool will help him draw reticent students into classroom discussions.

But not everyone is quite so enthusiastic. Reed College in Oregon brought Amazon's Kindle DX into its classrooms last fall for a much-touted experiment with e-textbooks. The experiment fizzled. Dr. Martin Ringle, Reed's chief technology officer, said the Kindle's lack of versatility and cumbersome navigation drove students back to traditional paper texts. (Read Reed's Kindle DX Pilot Project report here.)
Now Reed is back, but cautiously, re-running the experiment with the iPad using a few dozen students in selected classes. Ringle expects that similar devices will be commonplace in classrooms in the next few years, but he tempers that optimism with hard-won realism--he claims a dusty Apple Newton among his possessions.
