Seton Hill University to Give Students iPads

TMO Talk (25)

Full time students at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, have a special treat waiting for them this fall: Brand new iPads. The school plans to issue iPads to all of its full time students, and iPads along with MacBooks to all of its undergraduate students.

According to the school, “This new program provides students with the best in technology and collaborative learning tools, ensuring that Seton Hill students will be uniquely suited to whatever careers they choose — even those that have not yet been created.”

The iPads are being provided through the Griffin Technology Advantage Program, and students will be able to use their gear for both school and personal activities. Students that receive laptops will get new replacements after two years that they can keep after graduation, too.

You could go to a cheaper college, but then you have to put up with Flash ads.

Well here in the University of California system we pay that much and can’t even get classes, let alone MacBooks and iPads…….

I find it odd that you denigrate Flash, man.

Seeing how fast that the high rollers are dropping Flash from their websites, the “sir” name will be around a lot longer than the software.

Actually this is just a nom de blog.
