  •  
    This is a teacher blog about the pro's and con's of iPads and other mobile devices for the classroom. I think this is a great article because it is from an educator in the trenches experience with the iPad. This is valuable to our SIG because it focuses on apps as a solution to any limitation of the iPad. SIG1Context: Rachel and I may want to look at this as introduction to apps in general.

iPad makes field trips interactive - 1 views

  •  
    This is an interesting article about innovative and future technology which will provide teachers with interactive study guides and pop quizzes while on field trips. The potential is for reduced behavior problems. A potential problem is the cost of 3G iPads which are necessary for technology. A solution may exist with the collaboration of Square Crumbs and JoliCloud. This is a good example of collaboration between companies which will benefit education. This will be something to watch for in the future. SIG 1Context: Collaboration, mobility, field trips, student engagement

iPads for Elementary - 1 views

  •  
    This video features a elementary math teacher who uses math apps on the iPad to collaborate with parents in regards to new math textbook adoption. Great idea for collaborating and connecting with parents. This video also shows a child who is autistic benefiting from the iPad. I do not recommend this video for sharing because it starts out with a Pantene commercial and then continues to be blurry. However, the idea of using the iPad and apps to connect and communicate with parents a new math curriculum is an innovative use of this technology.

Rethinking Field Trips - 2 views

    This article does a good job of showing how a teacher with limited resources: one iPad and one adult ticket to the museum exhibit brings an interactive experience to her whole classroom.
