I agree with 20sloebbaka because at the library you can only check out so many books, but on an ipad you can have as much books as you want.

I honestly love the feel of a good book. But, they use so much paper. If we were to switch to iPads we would save so much paper on books that children don't even want anyway. I know people are more accustomed to the usual textbook, they argue textbooks because that is in their comfort zone. But change can be a really good thing! Conserving on paper will make us buy less of it, making paper companies stop producing as much. Less trees will be killed and the children will feel more entertained learning.

Ipads fo sho!

And just to tip the odd more on the ipad side I will also bring up the fact that replacing a textbook costs about as much as buying an ipad.

Not a fan of iPads specifically, but I do not see an issue with introducing more and more technology into schools. Books are great, but they're also heavy and it's not really necessary for a child to have to carry home so much weight every day for homework. Instead, they can use technology to have one lightweight device with all of their textbooks, notes, videos, etc.

1. Using an iPad could help kids learn about the keyboard and make kids write more. Students would not have to keep getting up to sharpen their pencils which distracts the teacher and students. When you make a mistake the iPad can help you with it. When people have messy handwriting, their work looks neat and is easy to read on the iPad.

2. These days when kids make Powerpoints and posters on the computer they look REALLY ugly. When kids use iPads and laptops they will learn how to make better work and be smarter. You people who disagree are mentally retarded. Just use your common sense and know that using iPads will be more efficient.

3. Seriously you dumb people who disagree they should. It'll make them smarter and just make learning much more convenient. Anyone who disagrees should go see their health professional to check for mental problems. With iCloud they wont forget their books for the next day if they have a laptop. It is also much lighter and easier to carry around: it is a book in one device. Paper sucks and should have never been invented. So remember if you disagree go get a life and see a DOCTOR

4. I am going into my sophomore year. I do not learn anything from my text books when I read out of them. When I get home, I read about it online and I remember it. Kids aren't able to recite paragraphs from textbooks, but when they read it in a text message, or on a social media site, they remember the entire thing word for word. I STUDY my Spanish, and everything using my iPad. Once I received my iPad this past Christmas, my grades actually improved. Several textbooks are old and out dated, and it is expensive to pay for new books. They are also heavy, especially when you have to carry more than one around all day. If teachers walk around the room when the iPads are being used, students wouldn't be able to misuse them. I think iPads in school is a great idea, and it will help students learn a bit easier.

5. What are these schools doing with these extra technical devices?!? Do we really want to give $500 devices to kids who can’t even tie their shoes? Well,questions of this kind go on your mind when hearing touch screen screen tablets for young students have become all the rage. Or knowing that Some districts are even buying iPads for every kindergartner. That's too much but iPads really help "students" especially from all sides and it has much more advantages than the money needed to get it and as a proof years ago their was nothing called by iPad while now after finding its advantages schools are entering this system and its really succeeding. This electronic your hesitating of will keep you away from expensive bags and save your kid's back from those heavy expensive books your defensing for.In addition to that it avoid many distractions in CLASS.

My first and most obvious reason to use an iPad is your kids health, since as you know that each bag now a days don't weigh less than 10 pounds in comparison that an iPad weigh 1.44 pounds which is much more less and the statistics shows that 87% of students are having backache at young ages and what is the reason u think? Its those heavy books. Some people are nagging on the price of each iPad and what it cost TO INSTALLspecial applications. Well they probably forget the price of the stationery, books, and those ugly expensive bags. Aren't those technical electronics also known by iPads wonderful? This technology is reaching our comfort to its extreme all of this is because of our brains. Isn't that great??

In the second stage come the avoiding of distraction in CLASS and less noise and misunderstanding. This screen tablet ensures to deliver every little information to him since he could simply record what a teacher is saying without any annoyance, and when having a test a student can message his question to the teacher instead of disturbing whole the class by his loud voice. And also we don't have to forget the he is avoiding sharpening pencils and these things that may waste his time.

In my opinion, iPads are the way to go. So many books can be stored on one.
