How can an iPad be used effectively as part of classroom instruction?  Or as a content prep tool?  Just doing a Google search or searching in the App Store will bring up thousands of apps labeled as educational, but what does that mean?  And are those apps actually useful beyond a passing trend?

This blog will attempt to answer these questions and others that come up along the way by:

• providing app recommendations for your use
• posting polls to hear what you like/don’t like/want to see more of
• examples of how iPads are being used in the classroom
• tech tips
• articles trending around iPads in education

And if I may ask of you in return to:

• respond to polls
• comment on posts and/or apps – tell me what did you like?  didn’t like?  How did you implement in your classroom?  
• send me links to articles you are seeing, apps you want to test out but don’t have the time, I can try it out and give you the low down!

Together we can create a useful resource tool for pre-service and veteran teachers for modeling and using technology in the classroom.
