I think the 1 to 3/4 works well for laptops/desktops but the iPad is
mostly a personal device and a recent study (I have to dig it up)
seemed to suggest that it wasn't good in the classroom *because*
children couldn't take it home, personalise it and make it their own.
If they can share while taking their own devices home and retaining
autonomy in that sense then I'd agree. In an ideal world of course
children would be mixing team building skills, group work centred
around laptop/IWB/blackboard/piece of paper and independent learning
with their own personal devices. Time to dump the individual desks
lined up in rows I think.
