All the talk about Apple's iPad tablet made me believe that maybe this will be the next new source of learning in classrooms. The iPad allows users to browse the web, use email, upload photos, and watch videos. But researchers are saying that there might be an even more useful piece of technology for the classroom setting: Blio. The article "Future of eReading might not be iPad, but Blio" by Meris Stansbury explains all of the benefits of Blio. Blio is a free eReading resource. Blio allows users to read more than one million electronic books on almost any computer or portable electronic device. Blio also gives users the option of highlighting, having text read to them, and much more! Not only can users access text books on Blio, but also some bestselling titles. Maybe all my days of backaches from lugging around huge texts books and my pack of highlighters are over; because with one simple computer or even my iPod touch, I will be able to do all my studying!
