iPad Reboot Workshop

​In this workshop we will focus on apps that will take your iPad use to a new level. We will discuss apps and strategies that will enable you to design activities that will allow students to utilize the unique features of the iPad to construct knowledge. Specifically, we will create:
  1. Interactive presentations that can be "pushed out" to your students' iPads using Nearpod. These presentations can include content as well as interactive elements such as quizzes, surveys and drawings.
  2. Learning games that can assess student understanding using Kahoot.
  3. Collaborative documents in iBrainstorm.
