iPads and Tablets

Since the arrival of the iPad, the way we do things as educators and as students has changed.  From eTexts to websites and more - the iPad brings extreme flexibility to the classroom.  One thing to be observed, is that the best thing about the iPad, is that for somethings, you don't need to use a computer, and it just makes many things more adaptable and accessible.  Many of the previously mentioned tools and activities, can be completely developed on the iPad (unless Java is required - examples that don't have all their functionality include: Wordle and Weebly, for certain items). 

What it does allow, both you and your students, is the flexibility to do most everything the computer can do.  

Monitoring your activities created using the computer are easy and accessible.

Let's look at some ideas that are out there first:
