When Apple launched the iPad, they promised us they would change the way we consumed media. In the 80 days since the it launched, we’ve already consumed over 3,000,000 iPads!

The iPad is an somewhat interactive media tool. One navigates by tapping or pinching the screen or sliding fingers back and forth. Kindle books, TEDTalks and YouTube videos, and iTunes audio and video content flys nearly effortlessly from the “cloud” in the sky to the iPad, making it unbelievably simple to GET media.

The question is, how will the easy access TO content and the new way to CONSUME content influence reading and reading comprehension skills?

Would you weigh in to share your thoughts on how the iPad might influence reading in your classroom next year?
