iPads for Everyone: How a small library program became a runaway hit and reached more t... - 21 views

In fact, they've become as much a part of students' everyday lives as their notebooks, backpacks, and textbooks."

iPaddiction: Draw Venn for iPad - 7 views

  •  
    "In every classroom setting, I always start with the educational content that students need to discover and build tech tools around that. At 8:00 am yesterday, I knew we were going to discuss the two different major armies in the American Revolutionary War. With that came us describing each advantage that the armies had while fighting. This led to some differences that they had as well."

Apps in Education: Gifting an App - 4 views

  •  
    "As a individual consumer with an iTunes account you would normally buy one app and load it onto all of your iOS devices. As a school you need to ensure that you buy one app per device to ensure that you do not break the iTunes licensing agreement. The situation is even more complicated if you are using the device with multiple users, but that's another story.

  •  
    "One of the first things about the iPad that caught people's attention was the touch screen, and it goes without saying that some of the first apps to start taking advantage of that touch screen were handwriting/note taking apps. Apps that let you write, draw, sketch--and sometimes type-notes on your iPad. Something that combined technology with the age-old practice of scribbling notes on paper."
