iPad Deployment Post

I sent this link to Chris Harrow, a colleague who teaches math at The Westminster School in Atlanta. Here are his first impressions: Cool = very smooth functionality on the iPad, you can do all the explorations in the most excellent iPad touchscreen environment, a very tactile approach to learning geometry. Frustrating = you have to create the docs elsewhere, on first exploration, I don't see a way to do constructions directly in this app. If a kid gets a good idea that requires additional "stuff" on the construction, s/he may not be able to instantly follow up on intuition. Any one else want to weigh in?

Another good post on iPad deployment

iPad as a document camera

This is a great use of the iPad! Document cameras are excellent: especially in elementary classrooms. Suzy Brooks, a teacher in Falmouth, MA, has excellent examples of this on her blog: 3rd Graders Dreaming Big (http://blogs.falmouth.k12.ma.us/simplysuzy/)
