Ipad apps for special ed- a pdf not for printing off

"A summer of sport is nearly here and all over the UK schools are sharing Olympic Fever through social networks and smartphones. As the Olympic Flame makes its way around the country, students are filming it pass through their town and uploading it to a safe social network for schools using the new MakeWaves iPhone app. The free MakeWaves app makes it safe and easy for pupils of all ages to upload video and images, post comments and take part in competitions instantly from an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Specially designed teacher tools allow educators to quickly take creative learning outside the classroom and easily manage their student's social media work anywhere."

With these 20 apps, children can learn how to write letters, improve phonics fluency, and even write their own books."

"Like nothing else before it, the iPad has provided a means to involve even these students in music making activities that help develop motor skills, attention span, ability to focus and cognition. In developing these all important skills, students can also become a part of a group that is creating something together, thereby learning how to interact with their peers."
