I think that our school district should supply iPads instead of textbooks. If our school supplied iPads we would be able to carry around our textbooks easier and they would be lighter. If our school supplied them then we would be able to get all of our homework put together easily. If we get iPads we would be able to have our homework done on the iPad without using anymore paper. If we had iPads we would be able to have all of are class work done at home if we were ill or on a vacation. iPads would help us become a better town because our school used less paper.

I would like to have an iPad. I would love to stop carrying around all of text books. I always am having them fall off my desk. The reason I think they would be good because they can be up dated really fast. So yes i think we should get IPads for all of the schools in the US.

Who wants to carry around HEAVY textbooks? Not me. When I get homework in Social Studies I normally have to come back at the end of the day to take a textbook home. It would be a lot easier if we got IPads and could not have to worry about grabbing a textbook before you leave school. Textbooks are expensive and schools have to get new ones each year. With an IPad we can constantly update them with out having to pay for it. With that our school saving that kind of money we could use it for repairs. An Example, our ceilings so they don't fall on us AGAIN.

I think that thar it is a good idea because text books are expensive and have to get new one every year with Ipads you do not have to get new ones every year and can up date them each year. so i think that going to Ipads in stead of text books is going to save alot of money.

Yes i think our school should provide ipads instead of textbooks. My main reasons is because we can't afford for our books to get ruined or lost. Also they are to heavy to be carrying around all day long. Most of all they are mostly outdated and the ipads update material faster to students then a textbook would. We would save a lot more trees and time with the ipads. It's all on the ipad and not through a textbook and i think it would be easier to go through the books on their instead of a real textbook. Also we wouldn't have to spend so much time trying to carry them from class to class and forgetting where your textbook was. Students in my opinion would look after the ipads more carefully. So therefore i think our schools should provide ipads instead of textbooks.

I think the Middle School and High School in my district should provide an iPad for each student to save money. Buying new text books every couple years for every class cost a lot but with an iPad you can get updates and you would be able to use the same one through out your school years.An iPad that weighs less than a text book would be better for students to carry around and would take up less space in a backpack or locker. Many schools are switching to iPads because text books become outdated and old. That is why schools should switch to iPads.

I think that it would be smarter to use iPads instead of textbooks. Although I like the regular paper books, it's much more practical to use an iPad instead. Why use something that could now be wrong and you still have to replace every few years when you can use something that updates itself? It may be slightly more expensive but if you take care of it, it will last much longer, with better information, than the textbooks. Besides this way you dont have to worry about people writing or ripping out pages in the book. So I believe we should hurry up and replace the textbooks already!

I believe that we should be able to use technology instead of textbooks. It would be much easier and we wouldn't have to carry around huge textbooks all day. Some students don't know how to respect other peoples stuff though, so some students who are irresponsible should have to still use textbooks. It's a privilege to use technology and some students don't have the respect to use them. It's not fair to the kids who are respectful to have to see that even if you aren't respectful you still get to use the technology. I think it would be a great thing to have all schools transfer to using technology. Not all schools have the money to purchase them, but not all of our textbooks are up to date. Most of our textbooks are falling apart, so schools should transfer to technology.

Is technology all people care about? Someday if technology quits working people will freak out. Many think technology is cool. When a textbook page rips you tape it. When an ipad screen breaks you spend 600 dollars to get a new one. I think books are better. We pay a school book fee each year but we only use them in 1 class which is kind of stupid. If we had i pads in each class we would not use them that much. For science class, which we use technology to type reports, we have lab tops so there is no need for ipads. Maybe people should think about things first before they want to go spend 600 dollars to become "up to date." So if our school got ipads they would only be used in 1 class, if that.

I think that iPads would be a great idea for textbooks. With the cost of textbooks rising a book on an iPad would be much cheaper for the school and/or for the students. It would also be much easier to carry a portable device rather than taking textbooks to every class. Then students wouldn't loose a textbooks as often because they have all their books in one place. It would eventually let the school save money from buying all those textbooks. I guess one downfall is that the start-up cost would be significant, but if the school participates in fundraising events, then it would be a lot cheaper. Overall I think that an iPad would make great textbooks and would eventually save the school money.
