If i were a professor/teacher I would outright ban ipads from the classroom/lecture hall they are in no way productive and more generally designed as a media consumption device.

anyone who says they can type notes in as fast and accurately as on a real keyboard using the ipad's touch screen is an apple fanboy full of shit]]>Aug 16th 2010 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/
Actually, the reason the Pitt vs. Penn State rivalry hasn't been brought back, is because Paterno wants a 2 for 1 deal.. 2 home games for each road game. Sad to say, if PSU were to play in Heinz Field, Pitt could actually say they filled the stadium for once.

That said, the title of the article is lame. Nice try Joe. Go State! ]]>Aug 16th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/

college isnt really falling behind but it sure as hell is NOT as affordable as it was in the 1980s, you could work part time and pay for school

now you can work full time and still not afford a decent school( high end state or any University), Public education in California(i live there) atleast has fallen to shit and i hope i live in another state or can afford private by the time i have kids, this methodology in California is just keep pulling funds from Education and lets get more Road signs or more Social workers or more useless shit...Education should be the #1 priority and number 2 should be upkeep of current structures, number 3 should be the expansion

as of now it seems expansion and education are switched]]>Aug 15th 2010 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/U.S. education problems, and they're there, exist in lower primary to high school education.

Yes but in the real world, they will be working with a wide variety of devices, a small portion of which are ipads. For example, software wise, once WordPerfect was used by almost everybody. I found it wise to learn wordperfect as well as other's to get a general feel of differences so I could pretty much work with what was thrown at me without much of a learning curve. I was able to jump straight into Microsoft Word when it became the new "standard" without a hitch!]]>Aug 16th 2010 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/california-universities-use-ipads-to-report-news-diagnose-heart/Aug 15th 2010 9:26PM
