iPad or Kindle?
At my house, we use both the Kindle and the iPad. I know that a lot of people ask which one they should purchase before they go out and buy one or the other. My personal opinion is to go with the iPad! Everyone has their own opinion on which one to buy but the iPad has more features, it is more expensive but well worth it! You can use the iPad for all different things such as lesson plans for teaching, networking for all different job types, and even for personal use with everyday living. the iPad is very fast with internet access as well, just like the iPhone. It will help you with many different situations and keep your life well organized. So when in doubt, choose the Apple iPad! Feel free to post thoughts about my opinion or ideas on new way of technology that may be better that are like the Kindle or iPad.

I would have to agree with you. My mom has the kindle and all she would do was complain about how slow it was. Also, how much it would cost to even be able to read a book on there. I think there are alot of apps that are free for the ipad. Once I have enough money my next purchase will certaintly be an ipad just because it is a lot easier to carry around than a laptop.
ReplyDeleteI have the Kindle Fire, and I love it! But I think the reason I like it so much is that I basically just use it to read, watch Netflix, and surf the web. It does stink that most books are still around $10 on it - I thought it'd be cheaper since they're ebooks. The iPads are so nice though, and I really want one. Just a couple months ago I was buying a new laptop, and almost went with the iPad instead. I decided for school and actual laptop with a keyboard and everything is better, but after graduation I'll definately be getting an iPad!
ReplyDeleteI was looking into which I would prefer not too long ago. The biggest deal breaker for me was that the Kindle Fire does not have a camera. It may seem silly that that is my only reason for preferring the Ipad, but if you think about it...the camera is a very important tool especially if using the Ipad for P.E. teaching. You can use that for taking/showing videos of students perform skills. Also, you can put their pictures right into the Ipad for when you take attendance. Both the kindle and Ipad have varying apps and features that the value of can be argued over for hours, but the camera versus no camera is a very simple argument that solidly places the Ipad on the winning stand for me.
ReplyDeleteIt seems alot of people have been torn between this same question Kailin. I think the Ipad has a better variety of things you can do on them. With the growing App Store your possibilities are endless with the Ipad. I have never tried out a Kindle before so I really can't say but when we played with the Ipads in class they seemed pretty cool. I wrote a blog myself on the Ipad, you should check it out.
