Apple's IPad is used as an educational tool. It has many apps that include library features and textbook access for students. The use of the traditional textbook is decreasing due to digital technologies, like the Ipad. Students are purchasing these technologies to avoid purchasing textbooks. Textbooks are expensive and bulky, and are plainly going out of style. Why would a student carry around 3-4 textbooks when they can have an ipad with an app that stores all needed textbooks? With the ibook app, students can experience interactive diagrams and photos, instead of the traditional static photos, making school curriculum alot more interesting. The more I attend classes, I see more students with electronic book readers like the Kindle or the Ipad, instead of the traditional textbook. Although, I do not have one myself. I plan on purchasing one in the near future.
