A Visionary There’s an old
saying by Wayne Gretzky that I love: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” And we’ve always tried to do that at Apple.

Using the iPad in the
Classroom The main uses of the tablet in the classroom are: • reading digital books and textbooks, • note taking and annotating, • searching for images on the Web, • listening to or viewing multimedia content, • sharing documents, • communicating and collaborating, • manipulating content with applications.

Using the iPad in the
Classroom These tasks can be performed with any computer, so what are the differences between a tablet and a laptop? A tablet is a portable computer indeed, but it has specific characteristics that can be taken advantage of to enhance learning experiences.

Using the iPad in the
Classroom 1) Touch screen: The ability to manipulate objects directly with the hand rather than with a mouse makes the tablet more intuitive and encourages kinesthetic learning experiences. A tablet's touch screen can represent objects, data or complex processes that can be annotated and manipulated. For example, the application Molecules for iPad lets students examine and manipulate complex molecules in three dimensions.

Using the iPad in the
Classroom 2) Mobility: A tablet can be used anywhere to produce material quickly. A teacher can modify class notes or do exercises live, while circulating in the classroom. If the tablet is used as a whiteboard, students no longer have to go in front of the class to interact with the device. The tablet can also be used in a laboratory or in the field to perform recordings and collect data, which can be treated immediately with applications.

Using the iPad in the
Classroom 3) Applications Apps: Simple and user friendly. Free and paid. Many can be used in educational contexts: Evernote (for note-taking), Dropbox (for storing documents online), Splashtop (for connecting with a desktop computer from a tablet), iThoughts or Thinking Space (for mind mapping), etc.
