"Giving an open-ended task is always an interesting issue for teachers. There is a risk involved. Will the students run with the task? Will they stay on track? Will they handle the technology or be distracted by it?"

This SlideShare provides a look at how iPads my be used to tranform education. Chock full if examples and activities as well as pedagogy chances are you will find some new ideas and resources in this resources from SilviaTolisano. |
I often hear of stories where students have a preferred app for a particular task. Learning activities should be inclusive of this approach as it enables student engagement, which as this author says 'cant be a bad thing'.
I liked what this had to say about how the use of iPads really does get the students to be more engaged in learning. Whether it makes a huge difference in test scores or not it is still a huge accomplishment to have your students engaged and interested in learning.
