These iPads were purchased so that teachers could experiment with ways that iPads could be successfully brought into the classroom, focusing on specific apps and lesson plans.
iPads will be reserved on a weekly basis through Mr. Chase. Teachers will be able to download free apps, but if you want to purchase an app you will have to put in a purchase request and receive approval before downloading it.
How might you use 2 iPads in your classroom?
