@11dmac92 into one gadget. You are the type of person that hinders progress, and by the sound of it, you haven't even remotely tried to use any of these devices for educational purposes. They are very valuable tools. And as a closing argument, I cannot believe that you'd think that for some reason someone wouldn't know how to simply plug in their device to charge it when it dies. You act like a student would simply fail were it to die. Your idiotic comments are amusing... So fuck YOU good sir.

@hiroku1324 Seriously hiroku, you are so blunt and narrow minded. With the right software developers (there are even some apps now) you can easily learn to write your ABC's and 123's. Ever heard of a stylus? Google it. It's a relatively simple device. And I definitely beg to differ on how you see and iPad or iPod automatically solving a students problems. It will solve a problem just like any other calculator, book, or internet site would. The only difference is all of those things are put...

I am watching this young guy share his experiences with learning completely on the go here at the 2011 Palm Beach Tech Conference. He is amazing and the future looks bright.

Thanks Travis!

Let's see now,

They don't learn how to use the pencil.

They use a Ipad and don't use their brain and rely on a device to solve their problems...

Sad!!!!

So, what happens when their batteries or devices die?

and they don't have the skills to use a pencil?
