Using the iPad in the Classroom - Module 1 / Assignment 7

After watching the 3 videos, WOW comes to mind.  The teacher demonstrated lots of apps that could be used to cover a variety of activities and subjects.  A calendar app keeps the teacher and students organized.  The ibooks app allows students to read a book from their iPad and have a dictionary resource within the app.  This would be a good way to do a literature circle, shared reading, and independent reading.  Many current event apps are available to helps students follow current affairs.  The camera app, drawing app, and music provide opportunity for students to be creative.  Math apps, including calculators for both lower and upper age students, are accesible for students to practice math facts or plot points.  Students of any age would benefit from the recording feature of the paper desk app.  Taking and reviewing notes have risen to a new level. 

The videos definitely opened my eyes to various uses of the iPad in the classroom.
