Tool #10 Exploring Mobile Technology And Apps

I'm supposed to comment on the mobile technology, and give my insights. So here goes! Well, I'm thrilled to say that I own an iPad! Yes, my own iPad and I love it! First of all, let me say that I can get all these different apps from the Apple Store. I use my fingers to surf! On my iPad, I get my E-mails, movies, TV shows, hear my favorite songs, educational games, Safari, maps, and videos. I can buy movies or rent them, etc, etc, etc. My WOW! moment came when I could download the books I wanted to read. I can get them free or buy them, and many are not that expensive. I go to the iBookstore, and I can browse tens of thousands of books, I've downloaded a few that I bought. At the touch of my fingertips I can browse through the books. My kids in class could look through the books, and read, My students were really motivated to read. They all wanted the iPad! I have to rotate the iPad! During oral reading, I read from my iPad, and the kids are really anxious to see the images on the iPad! After I read, they want my iPad to read! That is one great way to get kids to read! Can't wait to use it again in class in August! I need more iPads! LOL!!! There are lots of free educational games, and apps also. I have Word Search, and Word Magic for vocabulary. iPad has interactive storybook apps, which are also available for the iPad. So here is a photo to show that even my Granddaughter, and daughter use it. They really enjoy using it!
