iPad in the Classroom

http://tinyurl.com/yjgl9rk

I'm starting to see the benefits in a classroom. I'd love it alone for all the Apple Apps that can be downloaded. Many of the apps are free. I'm looking forward to how teachers will use them in the classrooms. Lots of possibilities!

Etherpad...brought to you by Google






http://etherpad.com
Love it. Google owns it. I will be using it in my classes live and virtually. No account necessary. Similar in nature to Twiddla.com . I observed a spanish class at Caruso Middle School in Deerfield, IL, where students were communicating in spanish on their netbooks to others. They didn't know who they were chatting with, but they had to ask and answer questions, in spanish.
