The classroom has changed a lot in the past 100 years, even in the past 10, and with new changes we have new technology. From chalkboard to whiteboard to SmartBoard to airliners to iPads, we teachers have had learning curves and sometimes resistance. However, with each new gadget we have found a use to enhance learning.
Without integration into our content and classroom, an iPad is simply a quick internet searcher, facebook port, or obnoxious accessory to a dad in the first row of his child's school concert (guilty). With insight and training, though, the iPad is a tool to deeper understanding, connect with students, offer instant feedback, and engage learners.
You might be sitting there, drinking your cap-grand-vin-sweet-mocha-turnip-pumpkin-slushy, and thinking, "Some schools have all the luck. I only have a teacher iPad, not a class full of student ones, so what's the point?" Well, not so fast, Moaning Myrtle, you can still accomplish a lot with a single iPad, whether you can project its content or not.
Please take the take to peruse this site. I really hope you find something useful that can impact your teaching and your student, and just in case you know of an ios tool not listed here, please feel free to email me about it in order to have it included to benefit others.
