Why I like iPads in the classroom:

• Mobile learning

• student engagement

• students already know how to use it

• it takes less time for student to get to work (no login and traveling to lab)

• brings power of web & apps into the classroom

• blended classroom with Moodle is awesome

• starts to cut down on paper use

• you can do video editing and production easily
