march 7, 2013 Opinion [email protected] iPad: iDo or iDon’t? Nathan McMahon opinion editor

CSUN is apparently stepping into the 21st century with a program that on its face holds much promise, but after serious consideration leaves too many questions unanswered. The pilot program currently being considered would allow for classes to integrate Apple’s iPad into a curriculum. The professor would oversee how and to what extent the iPads’ would be used, as well as hav- ing an opportunity to publish their own content in the place of tradition- al textbooks, through Apple’s pro- prietary eBook publishing branch. There is no doubt that technology is a key component of the class- rooms that exist now and in the future, but as a student here I’ve observed situations that call into question the longterm viability of access to electronic devices dur- ing class time, as well as the single platform approach of strictly using Apple products. It’s an interesting idea but ultimately is bound to fail in some regards. I love Apple products.
