[quote=Anonymous][quote]Last night my son was working on a book report on Louis Armstrong. He finished reading the book via the Kindle app on our iPad. He asked me a question about jazz music, and I was able to pull up a YouTube video (again on the iPad) of Louis Armstrong playing and singing. Then we pulled up Blackboard to read the rubric for the book report, checked his school's lunch menu for Friday to see if he would be buying lunch or packing it. In our house the iPad isn't just a toy; it is a very useful tool. He could have done all of the above at home or on the road. Love the iPad! [/quote] In my house, without even a laptop for the parents, this would have been done by: Getting the book from the library, or MAYBE from a bookstore or amazon Looking at Youtube via laptop (same for blackboard) looked at the fridge for the menu (the school sends it home) Really wouldn't be that much of a hardship or a struggle. Agree it's a useful tool, but it's hardly essential.[/quote]
