I find this sort of thing sad.  I've two teens that have productively used iPads from grade 5 up.  The oldest, in year 12 does almost everything on the iPad.  There is virtually nothing they can't do on the iPad.  Reading articles like this just highlight that there are teachers that are not, themselves, being educated, or that are not open-minded enough to think outside the box a little.

Whatever tool is deployed, teachers need to be trained.  Even when they are, some will resist, not wanting to change their workflow or technique.  It is then the teachers at fault, not the device.

It is a poor workman that blames his/her tools.
