The iPad is a fun device for all, but over the past few months schools and University’s have seen it as as valid replacement to the desktop PC traditionally used in the education system. Private schools are expanding the use of new technologies in classrooms, rolling out iPads to help teachers and students with learning. At least five Sydney schools will trial the tablet computers in select classes this year.
Private boys’ school Trinity Grammar bought 360 iPad’s for year 12 students and teachers. Students will use them to do homework and take notes in class.
But what apps should you use if you are a student? Students on a limited budget need to be frugal when browsing the App Store. The Essential Guide to Studying with your iPad is a fantastic iBook that you can read on your iPad. The book is simple, it divides your studying week in to the various sections of your day such as, Typing, Note Taking and Storing Files in the cloud. Pia Konig writes about her experiences with her iPad and the apps she uses day to day, in a way that will help you decide which apps are right for you and your study program.
