iPad in the classroom

[Jigsawjammer]

Hi- I was wondering if any teachers use the iPad in their classrooms as either the students get to interact with them or if you as the teacher are able to use it during lessons? I imagine how it can be used but is there anything from experience? If anyone would like to donate some that would be cool too

Thanks

I use mine for my own use in the classroom. I have to move classrooms during my 1st two periods, so having an iPad for internet and such is very helpful. I am also considering setting it up as an electronic gradebook and attendance record. The website we currently use isn't compatible with Safari, so I'd have to do it in a spreadsheet or something but I can see the many possibilities of it. I highly recommend it for use by teachers and students alike. I would love to have about 15 for a mobile lab!

A friend of mine is a teacher, and has a website dedicated to information about using the iPad in the classroom. You can see it here: http://livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit/26195
