The issue of whether the iPad is a meaningful production device is important to many educators. The issue comes up when making the decision whether to invest school money in traditional computers or iPads (and similar devices).

It is still a great idea

We got into the book publishing game by being rejected. Our original idea was to repurpose topical coloring books as digital files and provide them to teachers/students with some project ideas.

Several years ago Cindy was awarded a Teaching American History grant.  I sometimes get to tag along on her projects.
