Ipads For Science

This article http://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/ipads-help-mandan-students-get-excited-about-learning/article_5003e5f2-e949-11e0-afcd-001cc4c03286.html explains how Mandan High School is currently experimenting with the use of Ipads in their science department. They are only using the Ipad in class, and only some students are allowed to bring their Ipads home. This limited use is good at enhancing the productivity of the Ipad because it is only used on class for specific classroom uses. A major problem with for the students taking Ipads home is that their is no insurance for the $500 Ipads. Ipads are much easier to damage or break than books, and many accidents can still happen. Also, restricting Ipad use to only in class assignments for certain science classes does not take full advantage of all the uses of Ipads in school.
