Chip-A-Bit at Trinity University, and aside from enjoying playing Outpost on an

When my father expressed his decision to buy me a computer, my mom
promptly challenged him, "He's terrible in math. He's not going to grow up to
be a programmer."

revealed that every single one was testing or using the iPad in schools.
Within five years, they expect to have more tablets per student than
computers – a total of one iPad per six students, compared to the
current 10 students per computer.
In schools, tablet has become synonymous with iPad.

“I see great potential for
tablets to function as
teaching tools for both
medical education and with
patients.
The capability to show patients their
results, radiology studies and teaching
aides is invaluable in the patient-
centered medical home models.
Integration of tablets with other devices
(stethoscopes, imaging) and the http://goo.gl/xspq8
capability to carry a multitude of
textbooks and instant journal access
should accelerate the revolution in
medical education already occurring.”
35. post-digital school?
To allow or not to allow personal smartphones and other mobile
computing devices into the healthcare setting? That's one thought
becoming less of a question and more a reality check as bring-your-own-
device (BYOD) initiatives become imperative for CMIOs and IT departments.
