Using the iPad in your Classroom by Joanne Yantz


By Joanne Yantz


Using the iPad was a great experience.  I found it to be very useful in the classroom.  The app Corkulous was very useful in my Business Communication and Report Writing Classes.  One of the requirements for the course is that the students must make a presentation.  We used Corkulous when the students were organizing their presentation.  They then used those ideas to make their final power point presentation.
This is a terrific app for all students in many different disciplines.

Another  app that I found to be quite interesting and useful was iThoughtsHD.  This is a mind mapping tool for the iPad.  Mindmapping enables you to visually organize your thoughts, ideas and information.  This is definitely a great app for Comp. I classes.

There are many apps available that are specific to a discipline. I found these apps could be used in many different disciplines.  They are very interactive and make the learning more interesting for the students.  They are worth checking out.  Good luck as you investigate more apps for the iPad and share those with the rest of us on the blog.
