iPad Opportunity

You have recently been approached by your principal that student’s test scores have reached an all time low. She needs your help to excite students about learning and help them retain knowledge. Your principal has agreed to purchase an iPad for your classroom IF you can provide her with enough ways of how you could use it in your subject area.

YOUR TASK: Spend the next 5 minutes and review apps that you might be able to use in the subject area provided to your group. Type your ideas on our blog and be prepared to "show and tell" your ideas with the class!
(When typing the information on the blog, be sure to include your group member’s names, subject area you are finding apps for, app names and how you could use them in your subject area)

Here is a brief overview of how the apps on the iPad are setup:
