Instead of "there's an app for that," think of twitter as,

Speaker from
McGraw-Hill
We've been ready for districts to stop
buying textbooks for a decade.
Information should be coming from in to
out, not out to in. Must improve teacher
attitudes toward technology.
iPads are the crack cocaine of education
for 5 years, but districts buy thousands of
iPads with no plan how to use them.
Speaker from
McGraw-Hill
iPads great for k-2, 3-6 need
laptops.
Computers can not give adaptive
responses so supplement like crazy,
but an app is not your core
instruction.
