Technology in the Classroom

I have been reading a lot lately about other states using the IPad in the classroom.  I think this could be a great idea.  They have a set for each classroom.  Students can check one out overnight if needed but usually they stay in the classroom.  I think this is a way better option than a laptop per student.  There are many applications out there that the teachers are using to enhance the learning of their students.  It is also allowing them to have access to textbooks that otherwise they would have to purchase.  Maybe this is an alternative that Idaho should think of instead of the laptops.
