Learn@Lunch

Hello. Time has flown and I am being flown to Adelaide! Yes I am away for our Friday session and feel quite disappointed that I am not able to catch up with you all. I do hope that you have had some fun with your wikis. So what have we achieved?
David is probably enjoying his time playing with his new iPad! So how has time changedthe simple way of reading a book? We now have the advantage of reading books through technology that lets you image that you are turning the pages! What ever happen to that fasincation of smelling the paper. Do you remember that metho smell when the teacher ran off notes? Can we get that same realism with this new iPad?
So what about the creativity of books and the iPad? What will stop the work being copied and downloaded, passed off simply as another person's work. This happened quite easily with music and movies. What will stop this happening now with the printed word and anything that is published as a book. How far will this go? Do we learn any better through this new technology? Arrrr. .. just a few things to think about.
