In many Texas school districts, teachers are turning to iPads to help with classroom education. But as Carlos Morales of KUT News and ReportingTexas.com reports, educators are still trying to determine how best to use the technology.

There must be a lot of folks stuck with stock in paper mills and such. The tablet is the best and next move to replace the text books in our schools. The longer we put it off the further behind our children fall.
The billions we will safe and to the green people trees we will safe.
Americans must move forward and quit stalling.
Anyone BUT Obama and democrats!

In theory you are right gypsy314, but the money numbers do not work out yet. 5 textbooks at $50 each that can be used for 10 years are cheaper than one $300 tablet that might be usable for 2 years. You cannot underestimate the software support costs, and the cost of replacing ones that get broken.
