Ipad impacting education

The school issued iPads has impacted my education drastically. Although my grades haven't been worse, paying attention in class is the most difficult it has ever been and I know other students feel the same way. It is so tempting to play games the entire period. Teachers think all the students are taking notes when really some are playing games and not paying attention. I think they are a distraction. The only benefit is less books for the students to carry around all day.
