  • Any K-12 teachers and administrators who are currently implementing iPads in teaching and learning
  • Any K-12 teachers and administrators who are thinking of implementing iPads in teaching and learning

Objectives
In this session, we will:
  • Explore FREE digital content
  • Go beyond the apps to foster critical thinking
  • Collect pre and post assessments
  • Explore how to create a paperless classroom
  • Explore data from a school district who has implemented iOS devices (iPod touch and iPads) to impact student achievement

Hands-on
