For us crazed weirdos who work in education – that's primary schools for me – I'll admit it was mildly encouraging to find our world was the main thrust of an Apple event this week.

The updated, marginally cheaper iPad with pencil support isn't about to set hearts ablaze, but the mostly stable and reliable environment of iOS – and the bulk of education-focused apps – does make Apple's tablet well-suited in some ways to the demanding, fast-paced environment of a school. For music, animation, video editing and green-screening, iPads remain a high-quality package, and when children are engaged in such tasks, they're useful little tools.
