I have bantered the idea of using my iPad only for the month of February. If I am going to be immersed in supporting iPads with our teachers, I need to make the mind shift to use it for everything.
Currently my iPad is used less than maximum; however, I have access to a MacbookPro for work and a PC at home.
The question rises for schools - what if I only have an iPad? Should we buy desktops or even laptops anymore?
I haven't quite decided myself if I will take on this challenge as there are challenges that I know will arise.
- What if I want to print? Do I send it to a colleague? (not fair to them) Do I try to get the district to have a new printer that accepts AirPrint?
- Can I create everything I need to on an iPad? - (Pages on iPad can't export to ePub)
- Will I be as efficient? To search in First Class, it takes more steps on an iPad...
I am thinking that I should try this, but allow 30 minutes a day access to another computer.
Any thoughts or advice?
