Ipad, Useful or Trash?

Bij mij op school is nu een project bezig die gaat over het gebruik van de I-pad. In het totaal doen er 100 studenten mee die voor een aantal maanden een I-pad in bruikleen krijgen van school. Zij hebben de opdracht gekregen wat de mogelijkheden van de I-pad zijn en ik ben er een van!! Echt super leuk en ik ben er dan ook heel blij mee dat ik hier mee mag deelnemen.

Hoewel het in het begin echt wennen was begin ik er nu steeds meer mee te doen. Zachtjes aan begint hij toch wel stiekem mijn laptop te vervangen. Mijn laptop mee naar school is nog zeldzaam. En oké, een laptop weegt nou ook geen kilo’s, maar toch. De Ipad is klein en past dus gewoon in mijn handtas. Ik hoef nu niet meer met die verschrikkelijke nerderige laptop tas te sjouwen. En nu heb ik overal internet. Dankzij de 3G verbinding kan ik in de trein, bus of auto internetten zonder enig probleem. En jaaa ik weet het. Op een beetje hippe telefoon kan dit ook maar nu hoef ik niet meer naar zo’n miezerig klein schermpje te kijken maar heb ik gewoon een volledig laptop scherm.

Apps zijn programma’s die je kunt downloaden voor op je I-pad. Een voorbeeld is bijvoorbeeld pages. Deze app is een tekstverwerker te vergelijken met Word. Apps zijn vaak gratis en anders erg goedkoop. Voor de meeste betaal je nog geen 1 euro!  Je kunt het niet gek genoeg verzinnen of je hebt er een app voor.

Ik zal jullie de komende maanden op de hoogte houden over de voor- en nadelen van de I-pad en wat voor rol hij in mijn leven speelt.
