iPads in Education:

=**Tablet App Review**=

The purpose of this activity is to expose you to tablet technology for the purposes of education. This is the type of technology you will be using in your future classrooms. By the 2015-16 school year, all 9-12 students in the Dubuque Community School District will be 1-to-1 devices (which will be tablets). During the 2013-2015 school years, students in grades K-12 will have expanded accesses to tablets with mobile carts for departments (high school), houses (middle school) and grade levels (elementary).

For your assignment, check out at least 3 tablet (iPad, Android, Windows 8) apps that could be useful in a classroom. Note: Most apps would be something that would be useful.

Write a short paragraph on each of the 3 apps: Name. What is its purpose? How you'd use it in a classroom?

While you can easily go online to find apps with reviews, I encourage you to test them out for yourself on a personal device (your smartphone is fine!) or borrow an iPad from the education department by asking Susie.
