iPad4Edu encourages visitors to ask and answer questions about using the iPad in education. The site is run by Fraser Speirs, an educator and software developer from Scotland.
Geekspeak: Yes, that’s the same Fraser Speirs who in late 2008 created quite a stir in the blogosphere when he wrote about
his decision to never write another application for the App Store. (He
recently reconsidered). This past January, he also penned a commentary that generated considerable traffic. He responded to critics concerning the purpose of the just launched iPad and clearly described the “
real work” of computing. A good read.
