This article from Education Week illustrates one of my concerns with the proliferation of apps in education. The apps tend to focus on cognitive skills at the lower end of Bloom's Taxonomy. If educators only see a tablet as a warehouse of apps for the practice of basic skills, they will miss the opportunity to use the device as a tool for creating meaningful work. The tablet is a tool that can be used to demonstrate comprehension, connections and synthesize ideas in a creative way. Have a look at the article.
