I believe iPads are better than schoolbooks because kids learn more stuff and they get their work done faster. They get their work done faster because they will be saving time on getting up and sharpen their pencil every time it breaks. The other students wont get distracted while that student is sharpening his/her pencil.

When kids use an iPad it teaches those students how to do stuff more then schoolbooks would help them. They can learn the keys on the keyboard when they take notes. Or even when they are writing a paper or making a power point.

When they are typing a paper the iPad can help them with spelling and not have to bug the teacher every time they need help spelling a word. Their paper will also look neat and be able to read it. The ipad will also help the student make a power point. So instead of wasting money on materials to make a poster they can just download an app that will help make a power point.

When they want to read a book they can download it and read it. They can also have the book on them as long as they need to have the book to finish it. The student can also probably find an audio book over the book they want to read on the ipad and the ipad will read it to them.

Ipads last longer then textbooks do because either kids draw or write in the textbooks, or they rip pages out of them. Also another reason why ipads last longer then textbooks is because through out the years education will change. That means the schools will have to buy new books, but if the schools already has those ipads they wont have to waste money to buy new books.

I am a junior at Ohio County High School and we have ipads and the ipad has helped me out a lot. I get a lot more of my work done and turned in on time. I take better notes and get my notes typed faster then I did when I wrote them down. Even though I play games on my ipad during school I get my work done. My projects are way neater than what they was and it don’t take forever for me to look up the stuff and type them out.

After reading this paper of what all ipads can do to help you out and save time, lets just see if textbooks or any type of book can help you out just as much as ipads can.
