: "The iPad and Education - It's Not The Size of the Screen, It's What You Do With It" | ParentDish

“Gray says putting iPads in classrooms is a good idea, as long as they are properly utilized. He says educators used to be anxious to get their students in front of a computer, but once they were there, they didn’t always know what to do with them. Now that computers are more ubiquitous, “we can have more intelligent discussions about how they should be used,” he says. Gray says he hopes educators don’t fall into the trap of using the iPad as “free time for the teacher,” plopping the kids in front of yet another screen. And even a hardcore technologist such as Gray acknowledges that computers shouldn’t be used by teachers of every subject.”
