Spend some time with this infographic to discover how your iPad can be your handy assistant. It's filled with apps and services that you'll wonder how you ever lived without.
While infographics aren't really meant to be printed, here is a 6 page version for printing. Here is a very large 24 page version. You can cut off the margins and tape the pages together to make a poster.
iPad in the Classroom – Can we make it simpler? http://dedwards.me/2013/04/11/ipad-in-the-classroom-can-we-make-it-simpler/ iPad in the Classroom – Can we make it simpler?
With many educational institutions choosing to use tablets for learning, it can be quite intimidating for teachers when faced with so many applications. The diagram here serves to illustrate that less than 20 core apps can play a significant part in the learning process and hopefully temper any trepidation.
Perhaps the most important collaborative tool however is GoogleDrive. Leaving GoogleApps aside, the sharing options and collaborative documents make GoogleDrive a really powerful app and one worth spending some time learning all about.
I firmly believe that the reason why the iPad is the right choice for schools lies with two unique applications – iBooks Author and iTunesU.
Why (Not How) We Should Use iPads In Education http://edudemic.com/2013/04/ipads-in-education/ Why (Not How) We Should Use iPads In Education “If the nitty-gritty details of iPad use distract us from our larger mission, then we need to smash them. If we get too lost in the “how” of iPads in classrooms, then we need to stop and ask ”why?”
eSpark http://esparklearning.com Traditional classrooms are one size fits all, but students don’t learn in the same ways or at the same pace.
eSpark starts with standardized test scores to diagnose a student’s individual learning needs.
Next, students set their own academic goals.
We recommend a list of curated educational apps and videos for the iPad.
Students complete challenges and assessments, including reflection and re-teaching activities.
Teachers can monitor progress, review work and identify opportunities for intervention or celebration.

How To Overcome The iPad Learning Curve http://edudemic.com/2013/01/how-to-overcome-the-ipad-learning-curve/ How To Overcome The iPad Learning Curve
The iPad in the classroom provides a great level of educational support and is well worth considering by all educational bodies.
Teachers need to actively learn this new technology but the benefits to their practice and their students are immeasurable. The multitude of discoverable apps really stand out with respect to quality, learning relevance and fun.

iPad Scotland Evaluation Study http://www2.hull.ac.uk/ifl/ipadresearchinschools.aspx iPad Scotland Evaluation Study
The Technology Enhanced Learning Research group, led by Kevin Burden (Principal Investigator) based in the Faculty of Education, have recently completed the first national evaluation to investigate the use and impact of tablet technologies (in this case the iPad), across schools and homes in Scotland.
The study was based in eight schools and six local authorities across Scotland where iPad devices were being piloted to investigate a range of issues associated with the deployment of personal mobile devices as tools for teaching and learning.
The 10 Biggest Questions About iPads In Classrooms http://edudemic.com/2012/11/ipads-in-classrooms/ The 10 Biggest Questions About iPads In Classrooms
The following is part of a recent interview I did with students from Ursuline Academy of Dedham, Massachusetts about iPads in classrooms. They proposed a few questions that they thought were the most important and I replied with some initial thoughts for them.
Do you think students would be more interested in just playing with the iPads or using them for school purposes?
12 Crucial Questions to Ask .... http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2012/10/12-crucial-questional-to-ask-before.html 12 Crucial Questions to Ask before using iPad with your Students "iPad is making huge inroads into education and it is believed to have revolutionized the whole concept of mobile learning.
More and more schools are, if not already adopting 1:1 environments or BYOD projects , then they are at least debating a future inclusion of this mobile device in the classroom. But as a teacher and practitioner who is going to be using iPad with his/her students, you need to think about the instructional use of this tool.
There are several questions you need to foment in your mind and hopefully find answers to before using iPad in your teaching. You basically need to ask yourself the following questions .... "
What Students Can Actually DO With An iPad http://edudemic.com/2012/10/students-ipad/ What Students Can Actually DO With An iPad
Online, in workshops, and even with friends, I frequently get asked What can the iPad actually do? as a sort of challenge to the worth of the device. I would rather that they ask, What can you actually do with an iPad?
So last week, in preparing for the New England Reading Association Conference and the NYSCATE Mobile Learning Summit, I decided to change my approach. Rather than structure my presentations by tool, or by app, or even by project, I organized myself around desired student outcomes – aka. what students can actually do.

In this section, we take a similar approach as with our Great Tech Tools. In order to help educators integrate iPads effectively, we have compiled a list of apps focused on learning goals consistent with the CRCD framework.
While many of these apps have also appeared in our iPads in the Classroom section, this list is driven by specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments.

Will iOS Macs Dominate Like iPad Does? http://bit.ly/v7dW6R Will iOS Macs Dominate Like iPad Does?
Here’s the most interesting fact about the iPad’s incredible success that most people overlook: The qualities that make iPad desirable are replicable on bigger platforms — and may even be magnified by them. Which is why it’s perfectly reasonable to predict dominant market share for the iOS-like Mac desktops of the future.
