10 amazing lessons for the iPad Classroom: iBook coming soon


Sneak Peek at my new iBook out July 4th, 2013 on the iTunes iBook Store. Will include detailed lesson plans and in depth video tutorials for the teachers.
“For the first time in history, we have a technological device that is so intuitive to young children, that the educational possibilities are endless. No longer is technology a hindrance to student learning. However, teachers are struggling to make connections between Apps, the Curriculum and 21st Century Skills”.
First 4 lessons outlined in the iBook:

Lesson 1:
Use the Topia App to develop concepts related to Geography. Students make connections between fictitious worlds and our own. Big concepts explored include sustainability, global trends and interconnectedness. 
Lesson 2:
Use the Tellagami App to develop reading fluency skills. Students developing the ability to give effective formative feedback will also be developed within this lesson.
Lesson 3:
Use the Hopscotch App to teach students to code. The language of code can be used in many different areas from web design to complex animations and game design.
Lesson 4
Use the Formative Feedback App to encourage effective feedback to be given between students. Students will use symbols to prompt effective discussion.
