I'm very intrigued by the note-taking apps. for students. In a lecture situation, the iPad allows the user to record the event and as notes are being taken, correlates the written note to the part of the speech when it was written. This seems like a very invaluable tool. So much pertinent information is reduced to a few quickly scribbled notes. During a lecture, some questions may come up that need further clarification. Having the notes in sync with the speech gives the user a way to jar his memory to remember the importance of what was being said.
The traditional ways that students read or take notes may be changing, but the traditional means for teaching should never change. The premise of being an educator is to teach. The accessibility of additional information doesn't have to come in a printed book. The same information on the paper page is the same as on a computer screen from a down load. Whether a student takes notes with a pen, a keyboard, handwriting on an iPad, or with a rock and chisel, the important thing is that he's taking notes. This is just comparable to the change from fountain pens and parchment paper to Bics and stenographer pads.

M$According to Barbar Wippich who is a self-proclaimed "digital immigrant" and a curriculum and instruction coordinator of Liberty Public Schools in Kansas City, MO said that, "Change is happening so fat that this kind of technology is in most of our kid's hands already. The sooner we in the education field start to embrace and use it, the better off we'll be."
A fourth grader inclusion teacher at Homestead Elementary School in Crossville, TN, Ashlee Ritzko said that the iPad definitely has a place in the classroom but the only drawback is its price that ranges from $499 to $829, which could be cost-prohibitive.
Ritzko said that as an educator, she would consider purchasing her own iPad to replace the $1,200+ MacBook that she presently uses in class for this would be useful and portable.

M$I am not sure about the iPad. The iPad's are quite expensive. With many families struggling financially, I would hope that the internet would be good enough. My son's college does not require a laptop, just a computer in general- whether it be a home computer or laptop.
If classes require an iPad, that would be many years down the road (I would hope.)
Traditional means of teaching does not seem to be faded out. Even though college from home is offered in many forms, it seems people prefer a teacher guiding them. If traditional means of teaching became obsolete there would be alot of people out of work. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3404/3333259091_9cf2ff6a51_t.jpg
