iPad

 Overview

The Apple iPad has many uses in helping students and teaches with their education. With it's intuitive design and interface, everyone can easily use an iPad to become better students/teachers.

 

 Educational Uses

  • For students, there are iPad apps like the iBooks which lets you read ebook versions of some of your textbooks, instead of have to lug them around campus. Also, you can surf the web with it's own web browser if you ever need to do some quick research.
  • For teachers, apps like TeacherPal can help keep track of attendance and grades of students. If you need to do some quick  editing or composing some documents in a hurry, there are apps for that as well.
