Located within the apple.com website, this link offers educators a variety of guides and ideas for integrating the suite of Apple products into their classrooms. One resource directly related to my workshop about the iPad device is: http://images.apple.com/education/docs/Getting_Started_with_Apple_iOS_Devices_20110912.pdf Here, users can learn about the different ways to integrate the iPad device into their lessons. There are many step by step guides for the different features of the iPad which include graphics and screen shots of the device. Similar to the first website I mentioned, this is a cognitive activity in that the users are processing how they could incorporate a device into their daily routine. After they have learned some of the procedures, they then move to behavioral activities where they manipulate the device as shown in the guides.
