So, I just found this article (on my trusty Google Reader of course) about a group of middle school students in California that are each receiving iPads with an Algebra app that will be used to teach an Algebra course. The app includes an electronic textbook (which really isn't all that exciting), but the program is interactive (which definitely is exciting). Probably the best part about the whole thing, the teachers get iPads too! Teachers are able to automatically access results through the program. I will admit that I live, eat, and breathe for my iPhone so maybe I'm a little biased, but I'm just saying...who wouldn't try a little harder in Algebra if an iPad is involved!
