The purpose of this page is keep a list of reasons to have iPads and sources for iPads in education! I would like to have iPads in the media center for many puposes.
- I would like to have one at the Promethean Board for interactive lessons.
- I would also like to have several for lesson rotations. There are several lessons which are taught in which students rotate from one table to the next. One of the components at the table would be an iPad (instead of me bringing MacBook Pros from home!)
- I would like to have iPads for teacher checkout to use in the classroom. There are so many apps that are for education and we could use them all at school. Thousands are being introduced daily. We could use them. eBooks are readily available. When I want a book, I can download it faster and cheaper than I can get it from a publisher. If there is a book that I find that I want for a lesson, bam! We have it!
