The thought of teachers writing apps for the ipad cracks me up…
My response read:
Graham are you aware that to develop an app for an ipad/phone/touch you need an apple laptop/workstation? How are pupils/teachers going to start making apps if in you have replaced their computer?
I disagree entirely that these devices will replace workstations/netbooks/notebooks/laptops (whatever) – they will complement your existing technology.
Finally, in my opinion apple won’t win out in the tablet market, why would they when you could buy a HP tablet and already have a wealth of learning tools available or even an open source device that is android powered and have a mass market of free excellent tools?
