23 Things Every Teacher Should Be Able To Do With An iPad - 10 views

  •  
    "Using an iPad is simple due to its intuitive interface, elegant touch interface, and user-friendly operating system. Below we've listed 23 different tasks a teacher should be able to perform with their iPad. We've tried to focus on the basics, along with some typical tasks a teacher may be required to complete.

    "Technology has altered human physiology. It makes us think differently, feel differently, even dream differently. It affects our memory, attention spans and sleep cycles. This is attributed to a scientific phenomenon known as neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to alter its behavior based on new experiences. In this case, that's the wealth of information offered by the Internet and interactive technologies.

Others fear tech has crippled our attention spans and made us uncreative and impatient when it comes to anything analog. "
