iPad Could Help Cull Bad Teachers

Item: Bad teachers, fear the iPad: official believes trendy machines could help identify poor performers/Jay Patrick, SR

More Info: Earlier this year, (Scott Woolstenhulme of Bonneville Joint School District in Idaho Falls) spent $30,000 on 34 top-model iPads for principals and other administrators. The idea is that the machines will enable school principals to spend more time in classrooms evaluating teachers because they can collect and record evaluation observations at the same time. When IdahoReporter.com questioned the purchase, Woolstenhulme touted the iPads as tools to improve teacher performance by delivering feedback faster.

Question: Describe the worst teacher that you ever had?
