iPads in Education Slide Decks
This summer, I facilitated quite a few workshops about iPads in the classroom. I wanted to make sure that the sessions went BEYOND using apps to play games, replace worksheets and kill & drill activities, but that the focus was transformative and pedagogical use.
I am especially thrilled with the slides from the following slide deck… I took my own advice from Presentation Makeover and took all the images used myself…no stock images…the model guiding us through the presentation is my 8 year old niece, Sophia, who was so patient with me as I asked her to model with the iPad. Many times she became engrossed in playing on the iPad that she even forgot that I was taking photos of her.

Thanks for this wonder collection of visually engaging and informative guides Sillvia. Your work is truly accessible for teachers. You provide clear rationale and guides while informing and upgrading skill levels for teachers in a way that is manageable in their busy high pressured lives. You make it possible to take small steps at a time and try something new as a purposeful part f the learning program. Thank you!
As an educator, I believe it is very important to teach material that is important for the future of the students. When inventing my math and memory system Brainetics (http://www.brainetics.com), I wanted to focus on new subjects and innovative methods to teach. By teaching for the 21st century, students will be more prepared in the future. It seems like so many aspects of today’s society centers around the digital environment and teaching should be altered to adapt.
Great article,

Hello Mrs. Tolisano,
My name is Stephanie Tisdale and I am a student in Edm310 at the University of South Alabama. I enjoyed reading your blog post up above and looking through your pictures on the use of iPads in the classroom. I think iPads are such a great tool for students to use in the classroom these days. There are so many different apps on the iPad that students can use which can enhance their learning and creativity. Thanks for blogging about the use of iPads in the classroom.
Take care,
