"A group of 3-4 students can work collaboratively on one iPad with these fantastic free apps:"
"Getting Started: Powering and Locking, home screen layout, volume controls, home button & multitasking, keyboard, wi-fi, web browser, saving contacts, calendar"
"Essential toolkit of core apps you need for personal and educational productivity and everyday reference."
"Suggested list of core iPad apps for K-6 use. Preference is given to apps that are open-ended and can be used for various creative needs."
"This wiki is intended to be a clearinghouse of applications, lessons and experiences using the iPad in the classroom. The intention is that all apps listed have been tested and recommended by teachers using them."
"iPad is definitely a gadget of huge potential in education. Many schools in the States and Canada are adopting it as a learning tool within their curriculum. Developers have already started creating e-textbooks with enhanced mobile compatibility. More important, there are now several apps that are easy to use and that enable teachers to create their own teaching content to go on iPad."
"The education apps were selected to get students connecting, communicating and creating."

" It’s called the Padagogy Wheel and it offers a fantastically useful perspecitve on how to figure out which iPad apps work with Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy.

"Got an iPad? Then you've got a toolbox that you can fill to help you be an even better teacher!"
"Not every school has the resources necessary to take their students on an airplane . . . or spaceship. The iPad can bring the world to your students' fingertips in ways never before possible.
