Innovate with iPad Karen Lirenman

"...the best learning ever!"
That's how Karen Lirenman and Kristen Wideen's primary students described using iPad when they introduced the tool in their classrooms a few years ago. Since then, the authors have discovered apps and designed engaging lessons that create opportunities for exciting, personalized learning with iPad.


In Innovate with iPad: Lessons to Transform Learning, Lirenman and Wideen provide a complete selection of clearly laid out, open-ended lessons to enhance the way you use iPad in the classroom. By simply downloading a few basic, open-ended creation apps, your students will engage in the learning process and demonstrate their newfound knowledge in the ways that work best for them.
The book offers more than 60 lessons that you can adapt for your classroom, and each lesson includes step-by-step instructions, app suggestions and helpful tips to make integrating iPad into your classroom seamless. Innovate with iPad also features downloadable task cards, student-generated examples, and extension ideas to use with your students.


Whether you have access to one iPad for your entire class or have one for each student, these lessons will help you transform learning.
