As K-12 classrooms go high-tech, colleges get more virtual

E-education is popping up everywhere.  Some students at private schools are being required to purchase iPads, like the kids at Cathedral High School.  Public schools are also issuing children iPads too.   1,600 students at Archibishop Mitty High School were issued iPads that they can use at school and at home.  Ipads will greatly help students in rural areas, making them able to take higher level courses that their school may not offer.  Some educators are worried children will just watch lectures, slides and memorize the information they have on their iPads.  Although many schools are starting to use iPads, don’t expect an iPad revolution overnight.  Some colleges are starting to offer free on-line classes.  It may be many years from now, but one day there will be no need for dorms and students will be able to get college degrees for free or cheap on-line.
