iPads, iPods and other Mobile Tools for Education

 

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

 

 

 

The iPad and the iPod Touch are drawing attention from educators who are enthusiastically integrating the mobile device into their classes. It is being used to enhance reading fluency, function as a graphing calculator, serve as a source of reference materials for social studies, act as an access tool for curriculum podcasts, be the voice of those that are unable to speak, send and receive emails, juggle a busy calendar, access the internet, and support elementary students in their classroom.
