Teachers- using iPads?  This blog is awesome!  In addition to suggesting a plethora of apps, it discusses the more important issue of how the classroom/learning shifts from teacher-centered, to student... a blurb  Education’s landscape has changed greatly in 5 years and many aspects of teaching and learning that once were concrete are now being questioned. The iPad has played a big part in starting this questioning and challenging of old norms. Students are also challenging the system and their teachers as they take control of their learning. Education is no longer just about information and as the value of knowledge tumbles and access becomes more fair and democratic, the flexible talents of the iPad for creating, learning, collaborating and problem solving continue to shape this new world of connected learning.
