My school has officially decided that next year we're getting iPads for school. Yes, you have to pay for them, but we get a discount. I go to a private school, so payment isn't a huge issue for the majority, but we also have to pay for uniforms through the school, khakis/dress pants, shoes (any with covered heels), and crazy tuition. Like always some people are complaining about the cost, how distracting they are, no paper, etc. and some think it's a good idea; no text book fees, no school supplies (besides the ipad), and it's actually yours. I'm on the fence with all this, I'm super forgetful and if you forget it you're pretty much screwed for the entire day and online assignments will be the end of me, but then again it gives my parents a break on paying for stuff and I get an iPad. I was wondering if anyone else has them or is getting them for school and how they help/hurt? And your thoughts and opinions on them for educational purposes. thanks!
p.s. anyone have any good apps for school? (ex: note taking, graphing calculator, english-spanish dictionaries, flash cards, voice recording, etc.)... that are worth the money i don't want to spend another $500 trying to find the right thesaurus
