The document discusses using iPads in the classroom and provides examples of how two teachers have integrated iPads at their school. Some key apps the teachers have students use include Safari for research, Evernote for note taking, Pages or Keynote for word processing and presentations, iMovie for video editing, Comic Life for creating comic books, and Animoto for creating videos. The teachers obtained iPads by developing a detailed plan, getting administrative support, and repeatedly advocating for iPads.
3. Why I like iPads in
the classroom:
• Mobile learning

• students already know how to use it
• it takes less time for student to get to
work (no login and traveling to lab)
• brings power of web & apps into the
classroom

awesome
• starts to cut down on paper use
• you can do video editing and production
easily
