"There are some Flash web browser apps that will connect you to the internet and work with flash websites. The one I am using is iSwifter, which is free. There are also other ones available. These work "sometimes" - you just have to…"

An Idea to teach students iPad basics

A new school year has started for me and I wanted to share an idea I had to teach students the basics of using iPads. On the third day of class I introduced iPads to my students. I went through many of the accessibility features that could help students with special needs. When the students finished with the "training session" I gave them a brief true/false assesment. If you are intrested in viewing the specifics of this activity or would like to comment, please vist my blog. …See More

App suggestion

I have taught7th grade history for five years. One of my "bread and butter" strategies is called the interactive note taking and reading strategy.

I know this is a lofty goal, but I think that it is worth a shot. …See More

Lincoln Whitaker commented on Thomas Evers's blog post why did you choose the Ipad vs. Droid tablets

"I have been using the i-Pad since November of 2010 and I have found some limitations with the device. Specifically the fact that flash and java don't work on it. I have been wondering the same thing that you have ever since the…"
