puck is going to be, not
where it has been.”
And we’ve always tried to
do that at Apple.

34. 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.

35. 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.

36. 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.

37. 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.

38. 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.

39. Must Have Apps

Office® to your iPad and
links it to your Box,
Dropbox and Google

58. Connecting an iPad and a SmartBoard
Apple TV device ($99) and a WIFI connection.
Connect the Apple TV device directly to the SMARTboard via
HDMI cable.
The iPad connects to the Apple TV device wirelessly via the
