iPad in English Class

I think that having the iPad in class i great.  The problem that I have with it is that in Kno, if you try to read to fast or turn the pages to fast it slows down you iPad and makes the application crash.  Also without a stylus highlighting and reading is a lot more difficult with your finger.  The great thing about having such a handy machine in class is that you have everything at the tip of your fingertips i.e. dictionary, books, note pad, highlighters, the whole 9 yards without the inconvenience of having to carry a whole bunch of unnecessary amounts of stuff.  Even though you can easily distracted because of all the other things you can do on the iPad, besides that one con reading on it and doing work is quite a simple task and seems to get done with more flow electronically.  I feel that blogging is a great thing for class because its a fun way to earn homework grades but as well as really modern and intuitive way of keeping a journal about what your read and what notes you take becoming very productive when needed the most.  Lastly the iPad gives the students the ability to do more in class projects which again livens up the class.
