The benefits of making it personal

The iPad continues to infiltrate the enterprise, but what I find most interesting is the allowance that these devices can be used both professionally and personally. I’m a firm believer that until teachers are invited to embrace their provided computing equipment as if it were their own, we won’t see these tools being used to their maximum potential.

JPMorgan iPad distribution confirmed, says Bloomberg: “According to an email obtained by Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase & Co will be handing out free iPads to all associates in its global investment banking division (that’s investment bankers for you and me).

In a pilot program to last until May 2011, the bankers will trial the device to see how well it fairs as an additional mobile tool as well as being allowed to take advantage of the device for personal use. “
