Reflection #10

What: The iPad (inspired by Dr. Kowalski's presentation in class Tuesday)

So What: The iPad is an extremely cool gadget that Dr. Kowalski presented in class. It has great storage capabilities and applications that can be downloaded to serve any person's interests/needs. Not to mention it's extreme ability to download quickly and move from one thing to the next in a speed that is quick enough to keep up with anybody's downloading or search needs provides not only a cool personal gadget, but a great tool to use for teaching and lecturing. Notes, textbooks, regular books, documents, papers, etc can easily be stored on the iPad, you can even access the screen to your own computer! This an extremely helpful tool for teaching and learning, and is easily transportable as well.

Now What: I want one! I've been considering getting a new lap top for a little bit, but after Dr. Kowalski's presentation, I might just save up for the iPad instead. My old laptop is still good for writing papers, but it is a pain to tote around, and the majority of the time, not quick enough for things I want to do. The iPad would be a great addition to my personal belongings because I could use it to "consume" information, take notes in class, etc, and still have my good old lap top to write papers and do more "creating". Time to start saving = )
