24. “Instead
of
trying
to
hurry
and
copy
down
notes,
we
could
make
notes
on
the
PowerPoint
we
downloaded.
That
way
you
get
more
out
of
your
lectures!“
“The
in-­‐class
iPad
assignments
made
sure
you
were
paying
a(en*on.”
“I
loved
how
it
saved
paper
and
space.
All
the
informa-on
for
my
course
was
saved
in
one
li(le
iPad.“
“I
was
able
to
ac*vely
draw
things
in
class
which
helped
with
my
understanding
of
the
material.“
Positive Comments

25. “The
teacher
didn't
use
the
iPads.
The
lectures
were
on
PowerPoint
but
they
were
not
at
all
interac-ve.
It
was
basically
pointless
to
have
one
except
for
the
tests.”
Challenges
“The
worst
part
was
that
I
had
to
buy
it
while
I
already
had
Samsung
tablet.
Also
it
took
-me
for
me
to
get
familiar
with
iOS
soIware
since
this
was
the
first
Apple
product
that
I
had.”
