I&#x27;m split on how I feel about Apple&#x27;s continuing efforts to make iPad education a thing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;education&#x2F;preview&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;education&#x2F;preview&#x2F;</a><p>I have sweet memories of spending many a rainy day in the computer lab during recess on the candy-colored imacs, creating art on kidpix, putting together a crappy HTML site that would link to a friend&#x27;s crappy HTML site, and playing nanosaur, bugdom, and the oregon trail.<p>Computer education is huge, but I&#x27;m not sure if iPads are the right&#x2F;necessary stepping stone into using an actual computer. They seem more like entertainment consumption devices than creation driving devices where things get messy and frustrating and force you to fool around to fix them, learning in the process.<p>I&#x27;ve never owned one and I don&#x27;t have any insight into how much good vs. harm (distraction) they do in the classroom. Anyone have any anecdotes or thoughts to share on Apple&#x27;s continuing push into the classroom w&#x2F; the iPad?
