The easy way to effectively implement iPads in the classroom

The iPad is a natural fit for education in the 21st
century, and this hands-on guide shows you just how to implement it
in your educational institution. iPad in Education For
Dummies serves as a roadmap for the device's successful use as
an education tool--from both a personal and institutional
perspective. It examines why the iPad is a perfect fit for
contemporary educational needs, how to purchase and deploy them
within an organization, and outlines best practices, tools, and
apps for their educational use across all curricula and grade
levels.

A cross between a powerful computer, iPod, game console, and
e-reader, the iPad is an ultraportable--and ultra
cool--touch device from Apple. In 2013, the iPad was deployed
in Chicago Public Schools, LA Unified School district, Oxnard
School District in California, and Raleigh County Public Schools in
West Virginia, to name a few. In this new edition of iPad in
Education For Dummies, you'll find the latest coverage of
interactive media and augmented reality apps, creating and
publishing class books and textbooks, moving from lectures to
interactive classroom presentations, setting up digital student
profiles, and much more.

* Includes up-to-date coverage of Apple's iPad hardware and iOS
software

* Covers managing classroom workflow challenges, including how to
distribute, share, collaborate, and collect digital documents

* Written by one of the foremost authorities on iPad deployments
in schools

* Provides clear information on what decisions you need to make
to deploy and use the iPad effectively in the classroom

If you're a school administrator, teacher, or educational IT
specialist who is considering deploying the iPad in the classroom,
this handy guide has everything to set you up for success.
