I can’t think of a dumber move than a school replacing its computers with iPads. Complementing, yes, replacing, no.
/ht @phidip; typo fix
@CraigGrannell I didn’t think @fraserspeirs had replaced all computers at the school with iPads. I’d much prefer them as complementary.

@aral@fraserspeirs But they’re teaching modular and transferable concepts, surely? You can still make programs/websites (etc.) on iPads. -
@CraigGrannell@fraserspeirs Indeed. Again, nothing against iPads but I find iPad-only quite a dangerous precedent.

@aral@fraserspeirs Could argue value of each child having their own computer for schoolwork available at all times outweighs shortcomings. -
@CraigGrannell@fraserspeirs Again, I just don’t see why it’s an either/or question. Each child can have an iPad + school can have desktops. -
@aral@fraserspeirs How would you split the work? What would you say desktops should be used for (bearing in mind very limited access)?
