I went to a meeting recently to discuss a web site redesign project. It was in a boardroom attended by about 10 people including myself. When I got there, the presentation was on a big screen in front of the room and was controlled by a laptop. I didn't bring my ipad because I wasn't running the presentation and it wasn't school related. But I wondered whether the ipad would have been a good substitute for the laptop in this setting. Seeing how I found that it wasn't in a previous post.
When I got home I did some research and found some interesting articles. I wanted to share them. Here is a link discussing using the ipad for presentation and apps you can use for same.
Here is a link to an articles for the ipad apps that can be used for presentations in the classroom and for teaching. Here is a link to an article for some that are free!
And here is a link to an article from a teacher who swears the ipad changed her life. While I am very happy to have the ipad, It hasn't changed my life yet…still searching...
Thanks for the links, information and articles. I served as an AOL during this summers orientation and our OL'S had mini IPADS that they gave to each new student in our group to complete and submit a survey about their experience and the OL's contribution, they were very helpful. I really think the kids enjoyed using them much better than a paper survey..they passed it around until it was complete just like suggested in the teacher kit which I down loaded from your post, thanks again.
