iPad

Using the iPad was a new experience for me. On the first day of class I did not even know how to turn it on, however  Anyssa was big help in guiding me on some basic functions of the iPad. Tonight's tutorials have been great assistance as well. I looked at iPad 2 Starter Guide, and read chapters 1. The iPad at a glance and 2. Work with Apps. These chapters gave an overview of the iPad. I learned how to bookmark, highlight, as well as change color of the highlights, and comment on pages. To view what has been bookmarked, highlighted or commented upon, go to the Table of Contents and it shows the information that you added. I also took a look several tutorials on Atomic Learning which gave brief overviews. Lastly, I viewed some websites with articles of iPads being used in schools. The article that appealed to me the most was Five ways readers are using iPads in the classroom. The five ways it suggested are: intervention, enrichment, assistive technology, digital literacy and organizing resources.  I personally think that using the iPads in schools is a great learning tool. Kids think it is fun and cool and learn while enjoying the process of using the iPad
