  • “Traditionally, so much of art history is slides on a screen,” he said. “When they were able to manipulate the image themselves, it came alive.”
  • iPads would also save money in the long run by reducing printing and textbook costs; the estimated savings in the two iPad classes alone are $7,200 a year.
  • eplacing math textbooks with digital versions

  • Decent atlas apps suffer from missed opportunities $(function(){ $('.zoomLink').lightBox({maxWidth:1200,maxHeight:1200}); }) by Philip Michaels, Macworld.com   timestamp(1332878700000,'longDateTime')Mar 27, 2012 4:05 pm I’ve always enjoyed poring over a good map. Whether it’s thumbing through a road atlas, spinning around a globe, or sticking pushpins into a wall map to designate where I’ve been and where I want to go, I can find countless ways to amuse myself with a well-designed map. So if there’s an app that can bring that experience to the iPad and tell me a little more about the world around me, I’m eager to give it a try.
  • National Geographic Society offers a pair of iPad-optimized atlas apps—World Atlas HD and The World by National Geographic. Both apps deliver the world to your tablet, with an easy-to-control interface and a decent amount of data.
  • he World also includes the nation factboxes found in World Atlas HD, but puts its own twist on the feature. Call up information on Belize, for example, and The World lists population, language, GDP, and other data; it also includes a brief description of the country. But there’s a photos tab as well, offering National Geographic images

    Thought this site would some insights into how IPads were being used in the classroom. Sure enough- Includes things like a list of 100 ed apps, high school 4 core subjects apps, webprojection apps, actual instructional lessons, classroom management, even iPad carts. This is actually a link on Diigo Hot sites.

    Pearson loaded the social studies content on apps - this is crucial that content is available and students don't have to search too much.

    How many of our textbooks are able to be loaded on the ipad. Could this be a means of providing an ipad for every student with textbook costs?
