Earlier this year I came across this great wiki called teachwithyouripad. For those of us using iPads in class for the first time this year, this simple wiki is a link to a wealth of possibilities for helping students to use these as true learning devices.
On the main page of the wiki are four short sections, from the simple (#1. What is an iPad?), to the more useful for those of us who have fully implemented them (#4. How do I teach with it?). The number 4 section has one link, which opens to a list of 14 sample projects, links included, that could be easily implemented into any classroom.
The bottom of the main wiki page includes a link to a full "Teach With Your iPad" online newspaper, which seems to be regularly updated, and is a wealth of ideas, articles, and app lists for all grade levels and subject areas.
I really like that none of the options or projects presented are complicated. The iPads are a pretty straightforward device, and both the wiki and this online newspaper seem to be in keeping with the idea of keeping the mystery OUT of them.
