Is an iPad beneficial? - page 4

The only time I have used an iPad for school was when listening to two lectures that my professor posted online. I liked it because I could prop it up next to me without it being too bulky. I was able to follow with my pen & Powerpoint in hand. It was pretty neat, but I would never take it to class with me because I am pretty clumsy & sure I would drop it or something.

So much awesome advice in this thread. Thanks!

For you visual learners, try out mind mapping using the iThoughts app.

I purchased a Nook Color and rooted it to be an Android tablet. So a cheap, reliable, good quality tablet for half the price and it works on wi-fi.

I have a nook color and would love to do something like that. I didn't know you could do that. Is there a special way to do it? Does it work the same as an Ipad that way?
