| Pointed Response to NYT Article on iPads in Schools Posted: 05 Jan 2011 04:22 AM PST This week saw another mostly celebratory account of iPads in schools in the New York Times, "Math That Moves: Schools Embrace the iPad," by Winnie Hu. Since I was Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies at Duke in 2003 when we "embraced" the iPod experiment--giving free iPods to entering first-year students before iTunes even existed and no one had thought of one, single learning application for the very popular and coveted music-listening device--you probably think I'm jumping for joy about school districts spending 50K or even 400K on giving all the kids iPads. Since I co-direct the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, you may even think I'm somehow responsible for this trend. Not so fast . . . |
