“I’ve been using iPads in education for as long as there have been iPads available to use in education,” Fraser Speirs writes for Macworld. “I implemented the world’s first whole-school, one-to-one iPad program, in which all students in my school use iPads full time.”
“The iPad has served us very well over the last four years but, recently I had grown concerned that iPad was always going to remain the little brother to the Mac,” Speirs writes. “Before WWDC last year, I wrote a blog post in which I outlined the limitations of iOS that we’d discovered when using the platform full-time for serious productivity work.”
Speirs writes, “Last year, I didn’t get much that was on my iOS 7 wish-list. (We did get AirDrop and it has been transformational in how easy it is to move large data files around the classroom.) But at WWDC 2014, Apple delivered on a huge chunk of my wish-list, and I couldn’t be happier.”
