You’ll find a number of posts on iPad Academy covering iPad projects and initiatives in higher education (select the iPad Initiatives<\/strong> category just under the blog title). At a recent Gartner symposium, analyst Ron Bonig addressed the topic of iPads in colleges and universities, including a session titled iPads \u2014 The Ultimate Consumer Device in Higher Education. <\/em>Among the points he made were:<\/p>\n

Campuses need to provide enough bandwidth and network Wi-Fi access points to support the demands of the mobile, multimedia intensive iPad.<\/strong>
\nAgreed. I’ve experienced the pain and the promise of robust network access from the teaching side and the technology support side.<\/p>\n

The iPad needs multitasking.<\/strong>
\nApparently Bonig didn’t mention that the iOS 4.2 update arriving this month will address this. See my May post<\/a> for more on multitasking and app switching. There are also those who argue the unitasking<\/a> of the current iPad is a better fit for classrooms because it helps to focus student attention on the assigned task. I see their point, but workflows in the real world often require multiple tools to take a task from initiation to completion. Confession – not paying attention to social media, email and other digital distractions takes work. I’m still learning to focus intently on the task at hand and avoid needless diversions. However, a task often requires multiple tools. Let’s not confuse the unnecessary distractions of multitasking with the necessary multiple tools needed to accomplish the task.<\/p>\n

Battery life is the number one reason the iPad is a big hit on campus.
\nVersatility and access to thousands of apps should help to insure continued adoption and use.<\/strong>
\nAgreed. See also Going One-to-One with iPads: Learning on the Leading Edge<\/a><\/p>\n

As older instructors go out to pasture, technology will be used more.<\/strong>
\nOn behalf of my fellow “older instructors” I say baloney. I’d say something else, but I try to follow the principle I set for iPad Academy:<\/p>\n

We should share what we know with humility and what we believe with civility<\/em><\/strong><\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

As I wrote in the About<\/a> section of this blog, I’ve spent thousands of hours with teachers at all levels. Rarely did I encounter a senior member of the faculty who was unwilling to consider technology that may help him or her better reach students or improve professional skills. To the contrary, the more senior teachers often conveyed a sense of renewal and newfound excitement as they evaluated and integrated technology into teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

postscript: I try to follow another principle as well. “All of us are smarter than one of us.” I invite you to share your comments on this and other articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
