Apple has always known the value of introducing its technology in schools, and so it's not at all surprising to see iPads being tested with first and second graders in Chicago. One school's grant proposal "says while second graders study forest communities, classes can take pictures of artifacts from nature, inspect them on the tablet, record observations and incorporate those images into multimedia presentations about the forest." The idea of course is to learn about the forest. The focus will no doubt be on the technology. But to me, the big thing is that students will be learning about forests in forests. Via Ian Quillen.
