Business Week has a recent article arguing that Apple’s dominance in the school market is slipping? The reason as I understand it – mom and dad can’t understand why their kids use different machines in school than mom and dad use at home and work.
This is an interesting issue to me. Does it imply that educators have long perferred machines that are less productive for learning, that parents have less insight into how technology is used in education but feel the need to criticize anyway, that other factors are becoming dominant (cost), or what?
The author states it this way – it is ok to think different, as long as it is the same different as most everyone else.
