notes from Julia Wilson:

Breaking up with iPads

No one device does everything you want

What is your goal?

How do we support our faculty?

iPads have the apple creation tools like iMovie, garage band

Middle school: maybe chromebooks, 1+1 laptop/Chromebook + iPad

Scientific american article on reading digital vs paper text

Mental note photo stream app for field trips

Typing web typing.com

Writing on the screen - do students use their tablets to do this?

Notability - great iPad app

We video - up and coming free website that can replace iMovie

Learner first - does someone work better with an iPad or a Chromebook? Should they be allowed to choose between the two?

Blogsy - good app for posting media to wordpress
