Summary : With the introduction of the iPad, many segments of society have profited; particularly in the field of education. This book explores the addition of technology to the classroom, and more specifically, three different segments of the use of the iPad in education; globally, domestic K-12, and secondary education. Through the research of multiple articles, we look at the most valuable assets to education, through the use of the iPad, and other technologies specific to education, and use in the classroom.
