Thoughts on the iPad2 in Teaching By Shelly Blake-Plock Picked up my own iPad2 about three weeks ago and, as an experiment, I have set my laptop aside and have used nothing but the Apple in the classroom ever since. And I have found that there is nothing that I do in my normal activities as a teacher that I have done with a laptop or a tablet PC that I can not do with the iPad2. Blogging? No problem... BlogPress. In short, in my experience, all of the criticisms I have heard about the iPad not being 'classroom ready' are bogus. Publishing yearbook?

esu3ipads - home iPod It’s hard to describe to people all of the magic that happens at Anastasis on a daily basis. It really does feel like something special, a magical quality of falling down the rabbit hole into another world where school is fun and challenging and wonderful. The learning that happens here is very organic, it lacks a formulaic approach. Anastasis learners are in a continual state of growth, discovery, and creativity. The nice thing about having ALL students in the same big guided inquiry during a block, is the incredible overlaps in learning that occur between classes. For each inquiry block I give teachers an inquiry guide with the driving inquiry question, the key concept, and the individual lines of inquiry that could be explored. This is the point that the magic I mentioned above starts to happen. The students in Team Weissman began this block with a field trip to a local observatory.
