iPad in Education For Dummies

Part IV

Exploring Applications for Digital Reading and Writing

In this part . . .

This Part takes a peek at how the e-book revolution is changing the way people read. It shows you how to find and order whatever you like reading and have it in your hands within seconds. I also explain how to create, edit, and annotate your own documents. You can even record classes and coordinate the sound to play back in sync with your notes. For the more enterprising among you, I take you on a stroll through some options for creating your own digital e-book.

I take a look at how iPads can be used as a tool for inquiry, data collection, and analysis in math and science, and review some model lessons from teachers.

Lastly, I cover how to use assistive technologies to help students with physical challenges such as vision and hearing impairments.
