With the iPad, history becomes a paperless course; students more easily create and share projects individually or in small groups; and research sources are readily available. Presenters managed the transition to an iPad classroom this year and will share their experiences, as well as projects and samples of student work from 5th and 9th grade world history classes. Featured apps include Keynote, iAnnotate, Sketchbook, Mental Class, Pages, Google Earth, Kno, and selected museum websites. // // † // // After taking this workshop, participants will understand how to use the iPad to enhance students' learning of ancient world history. Participants will be able to apply ideas from this workshop to middle and upper school courses in all disciplines. // † Instructions for attendees: iPads are useful but not required.
