Ten reasons the iPad is an awesome tool for classrooms and education

The ability to work with iPads right on the desks of students makes them a powerful classroom tool. Over the past couple of years, I have had the awesome opportunity as a principal and teacher to be part of a school that adopted iPads on a 1:1 device to student ratio. I went into the program unsure if iPads would be as effective of a classroom device as traditional laptops, but have become convinced that the iPad offers more for classrooms than traditional desktop or laptop computers. Here are the ten reasons I why I have found iPads to be the perfect classroom tool. 1 – Price At $499 for the newest iPad or $399 for the iPAd 2, the iPad is cheaper than many traditional laptop or desktop computers. At my school we have found the cheapest 16GB iPad to offer plenty of storage. 2 – Battery Life The 10-12 hour battery life of the iPad truly makes the device portable and versatile for classroom use. 3 – Portability A teacher can easily carry a stack of iPads from classroom to classroom.

Apple iPhone Repair Background and Identification ¶ Released on June 29, 2007 the first iPhone spun the cell phone world around and took it in a completely new direction. It took the idea of having a phone at your fingertips at all times and turned it into having your personal computer/phone/assistant at your fingertips at all times, leading us into the era of smartphone-dominated consumers. Since the release of the iPhone in 2007, there have been four new iterations—iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S—each adding new features, faster processing, and improved graphics. With different models came different levels of repairability. Though Apple may tell you otherwise, all of these devices are user-serviceable with the help of our repair guides found in each of the device pages above.

My Favorite iPad Apps of 2014 This year, just like the other years, I have had the chance to try out different apps in my App Class with my students. And here is my list of my favorite Apple apps that really works in an 1:1 iPad class! Adobe Voice is the very first app on this list. It is free and it gives the chance to children to use their pictures or their text and record their voices with music at the background. Tellagami is certainly sharing the first place with Adobe Voice. There are not so many poster makers on the market but certainly me and my students’ favorite one is the Phoster. PicCollage is another app that we have been using a lot in class. Animoto is not a new app but as it is one of the easiest way to create videos with pictures, videos and text, it is one of the tools that I use it in class. Videolicious is another favorite on this list. I would certainly add SpekingPhoto ad Shadow Puppet apps to this list as they are my students’ favorites! The very last one is the Biscuit app!
