Don't forget to check out Morrie Reece's iPad presentation documents. He has some great apps that can be used in different content areas.


 * iPads/iPods**
 * Francis Howell is using iPads with some special education students for communication devices. The app we are using is Proloquo2Go. Here is a video explaining how this app works. We also have some high school business teachers that are getting iPads soon and we have a few random teachers that are piloting using iPads in the classroom.


 * eReaders**
 * Francis Howell is slowly starting to see how eReaders can be used with our students. We just recently purchased 2 eReaders (Nooks) for all of our secondary school libraries. The plan is to have the eReaders checked out to students, but we are still working on some of the management pieces. We also received a grant to purchase some eReaders and books for some of our students to use in a couple of our middle school CWC classes. Here are a couple great resources that have helped us find some information on using eReaders in education:
 * Kindles at the Unquiet Library
 * Educators eReaders Ning
