How do I use this shiny, new gadget?

The iPad is an exciting and some call "Magical" tablet computer. iPad 2's camera and long battery life and the wealth of resources available to the iPad will engage students in ways laptop computers can't.

The iPad comes with several preinstalled apps that are easy to use and could be incorporated in the curriculum right out of the box. Safari's iPad User Guide is a "first stop" resource to find out how to use the tools on your iPad.

There are hundreds of great resources on the web. Many are focused on the needs of educators. Your "assignment" is to find a site with useful information that you can share with your colleagues. Post the URL of the site in the forum "iPad online resources" and share something that intrigued you on the site. Read the other posts, explore the resources other teachers have shared and post your ideas on how the tips could be used in your classroom.
