iPad in the Classroom

75 Interesting Ways to use an iPad in the Classroom

The website above is really interesting and it shows many useful ways of using iPad in the classroom. As a future teacher I think incorporating technology into the classroom is essential because today's learners live in a world of digital, audio and text, and they expect a similar approach in classroom as well. I found number 32 very interesting because it is a great way to share stories that children make up themselves. This also makes me realize that iPad can be very useful for all ages.

Use Skype to make the iPad a phone


Among other things, iPad can also be used as a phone if you have a Skype account. A couple of days ago I used Skype to make the iPad a phone. It all started because I had forgotten my phone and I needed to make a phone call. I was lucky to have my iPad with me and while I was using it I saw the Skype app. I signed on and I made not only one but three phone calls because it was so amazing. The sound was great, just like a phone, and it really solved my problem.
