[|iPad Resources]
When we first started this project, I found searching the computer for information, ideas and resources for using iPads in the classroom were far and few between. Things are changing, even the cyber teacher guru Kathy Schrock has a link to using ipads in the classroom. I have found a few sites that have some information that I have found useful. Kathy Schrock' "Ipads in the classroom" [] Audubon Park Elementary has a wiki, with mostly apps [] Quick list of iPad resources for the classroom: [] Cybrary Man’s Educational Website [|http://cybraryman.com/ipad.html] Edudemic The Ultimate Guide to Using iPads in the classroom [] Cave Creek School District iPad Project []
