Tablets are making their way into classrooms quickly and the iPad has long ruled the education market. Many schools and educators are using the iPad to make teaching more efficient and deliver content in a streamlined, interactive format.

Tapping the unique powers of these devices unleashed neurocognitive learning capabilities in the brain that aren't often used during traditional instruction, he added."
