The iPad is a great tool for classrooms because it is extremely portable, can be adapted to specific children's needs and has an abundance of educational apps to teach students lessons. These educational apps range from teaching children how to write letters to learning fractions and even understanding the solar system. While critics may be hesitant about implementing iPad technology in classrooms, studies have proven that the use of iPads leads to increased motivation and understanding of knowledge in children.
