A Distributed Phalanx of Tablets

Lovely piece by Dan Hill on the City of Sound blog about the iPad:

a distributed phalanx of tablets will be far more palatable, more civil, than the walls of laptop screens that are temporarily erected during meetings now

This is one of my fervent hopes for the iPad in school settings. Putting the screens down on the desk changes the shape and feel of the classroom.

I'd never even thought of this, but you are so right! I know too well what it's like when you're in a meeting with someone and they are buried behind the laptop.
