I was excited to read this article. When I first started TechCommGeekMom, I was VERY interested in m-learning and the impact it could make in education on all levels. If you check the archives, you’ll see lots of articles about it.  While my own career has taken a different turn, my interest in m-learning through iPads hasn’t diminished at all. I still think it’s a strong tool for learning purposes, and this article shows some further proof for this argument. 

 

Take a look–what do you think? Do you think it’s still a fad, or has iPad found its place in education? Include your comments below.
