Tip: Use the iPad as a mini-whiteboard
Install a painting app such as the free Doodle Buddy. Students can then use the iPad to draw their answers to questions as they would on a mini-whiteboard, but with less mess and no need for pens.

Tip: Create mind maps to brainstorm and think
creatively
Use a mind mapping app such as Idea Sketch (free and simple to use) to create mind maps. Ideal for revision of subjects, but can also be used to plan out projects. Can be viewed in both diagram and list views
You can save each sketch of an idea as an image once you've finished.

Tip: Use the iPad for group research projects
One iPad goes a long way when students are working in a group. It gives them instant access to the information they need to succeed - either through apps, stored data, or the internet.
It's far more dynamic than a laptop - it can be shared, passed around, propped up, gathered around - it quickly becomes a key tool for enabling group work.
This instant, shared, tactile access really keeps student group projects flowing!

Tip: Use DropBox to get work on and off the iPad
One of the challenges of using the iPad in a classroom is getting work onto or off the devices without relying on iTunes. Investigate the use of DropBox for this purpose.
A DropBox account will automatically sync files wirelessly from a teacher laptop to a set of iPads using the same account. You could set up a folder in DropBox for each student in the class.

If a purpose built iPad storage units are too expensive, a $4.50 dish drying racks may be a useful alternative. For a dust free alternative, place the dish rack with iPads in a large Rubbermaid container.

Tip: Collaborative Whiteboards
Collaborative whiteboard apps allow you to share iPad screens across a number of iPads.
Once you open the app it asks if you want to 'share' your screen. When shared, writing and drawing on the iPads will be seen on the other iPads that it has been shared with.
Great for sharing ideas and keywords during reading times. Also any other time where you want students to work collaboratively to write/share ideas.
