Content-type: text/html Downes.ca ~ Stephen's Web ~ Education Should Step Away from Apple Devices

Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a conclusion I have already reached and is behind my decision to ditch my MacBook Pro, my iPod, and the horde of other knickknacks that go with an Apple purchase (because the spending on these things never ends). "After examining iPad implementation across the province, country and abroad over the last six years I have come to determine that it is simply not designed for shared use in education. This contradicts the very idea of what it means to collaborate – a 21st century skill we can all agree upon. It would seem that Apple's philosophy when it comes to education is share less buy more."
