How To Use Your iPad As A Digital Whiteboard iPads, whether you like it or not, are a popular choice among schools as the hardware of choice when talking about ‘new’ classroom technology. There are so many different ways you can use them , they’re pretty intuitive, and there are a number of teachers out there who have been sharing their experiences integrating these sexy little tablets into their classrooms. Something that we haven’t talked much about is using your iPad as a digital interactive whiteboard for your classroom.

After writing code for 9 hours/day for many years, you can imagine my wrists were shot, and I loved ebooks because they weren’t as heavy and hard to hold as a physical book. Most public libraries didn’t lend ebooks back then, so I eventually resigned myself to purchasing everything I wanted to read. When the Sony readers started supporting borrowing books from libraries, I checked to see what titles were available in the Greensboro library – basically none. I had given up on borrowing library books until recently when I posted about the OverDrive Media Console universal app for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad. As I mentioned, OverDrive is a universal app, but I decided I’d download it to my iPad 2. Now you’re ready to find your local library; you need to know before you begin that a valid library card for your library is required. My account information Product Information
PhillyD Official Flashcardlet for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store My 35 Favorite Free Apps for Teaching Schools around the country are undergoing a digital transformation. With iPads and tablets showing up in classrooms with greater frequency, trying to figure out which apps to use can leave a teacher’s head spinning. Last year, when my school debuted an iPad lab, I was thrilled, but as it turned out, I barely used it. I shied away from this new technology (which is definitely not like me!) because I honestly had no idea how to make the most of the iPads in my daily lessons. Oh, what a difference a year makes! Over the past year, I have found several great educational apps that I integrate into my teaching on a regular basis. Please note that since the publication of this blog post, two of the apps, Shake-a-Phrase and Stack the States, are no longer free, but are low cost and still useful tools. With nearly a million apps available, I know there are other great ones out there.
