From Apple: Learning with the iPad

From DSC:
For me…I’m beginning to wonder if we will move towards the use of these devices so that students can better see and experience what we are trying to relay to them. So often, students can’t see visual information (as in CAD drawings, stars in a galaxy, items under a microscope, numbers or equations on a spreadsheet, etc.) when images are projected onto a screen.
