Advice…

• Be creative and think outside the box!• Whenever possible, get FREE apps. Don’t pay for anything

unless you are sure you’ll like it. • If you see an app you want to try that is free, download it

immediately. Prices change daily.• Try and try again. When in doubt, give it to the kids.• Take it home. Download apps. Play them. • One page per “type” of app – Reading, Math, Science, SS• The games are fun, but don’t use the iPad solely for games. • The more often you can have the kids CREATE something

using the iPad, or the more you can assess them in a different way using the iPad, the better.

• Share. Develop a network of iPad educators and share often!
