The eduFire Blog

Here at eduFire, every single one of us (except for a couple of traitorous interns) are Apple lovers. Everywhere you look you’ll see Apple products. iPhones, Macbook Pros, Mac Minis, and more. Now, for the first time ever, a brand spankin’ new Apple tablet… well, in our poorly photoshopped dreams, anyways. But you knew that right after looking at the picture, right?

Live Classes on the Go

With all the hubbub and excitement about about the may-or-may-not-exist Apple tablet, it got me thinking. The rumors suggest that there will be a version with a webcam, and a version that is made for “education,” whatever that means. Whether or not an Apple tablet includes a webcam, it’s the perfect platform for on-the-go eduFire classes. My guess is that you will be able to connect to a 3G network with these, which means you could technically take a class from anywhere that has a cell connection. Originally I had hoped my iPhone would get me onto an eduFire class (no flash support yet, sadly), so this may be the next best thing. No, it’s even better.

I have a dream, where one day anyone and everyone will be able to pick up their tablets, PC or Apple (or linux!), and learn something new from anywhere they want. Where people will be able to pull out one of these at the beach and take a lesson in marketing, or learn some Italian while listening to the waves hit the shore. Learning from bed or the passenger seat of a car will never be easier. A product like this, which could easily become more widespread than other similar tablets or netbooks on the market (c’mon, it’s Apple, people buy their stuff just because it exists), could really change how we learn online. You will no longer be tethered to your desk or modem, and learning will be able to happen anywhere. How cool would that be?

I also have a dream to not make horrible photoshoppings of things. Maybe I should take a photoshop class.

If you had one of these, where would you take a class from? I wonder who will be the first to suggest the toilet?
