When our school first got iPads I was one of them people that played games more then using it resourcefully, but to mine and a lot of others defense we weren't using them much for school other then quizlet and most of the time the wifi didn't work. But now that most of the bugs with the iPads are getting worked out and teachers are starting to learn how to use them I don't play games anymore I use it for the internet and for studying. I can only speak for myself on this but I think its become more beneficial for myself to use the iPads for school related stuff.
There are kids with hard lives who have no education that are receiving a tablet or some learning tool and using it to their advantage. I do believe that they have more motivation then us to learn because they have grown up with nothing and given this opportunity they are going to jump on the chance to learn. Unlike us we have grown up with a free education and I think we take it for granted, I think we are motivated just in a different way given the circumstances.
