Monica Burns, a 5th grade teacher, uses iPads and free apps to enhance classroom instruction and management. She uses apps like Google Earth, Maps, and The Weather Channel to bring current events and the real world into lessons. Ted Talks and NBC Nightly News help establish prior knowledge and make text-to-world connections. Educreations allows her to quickly record notes and lessons. WordPress helps manage the class website. Students use iPads to access an iBook PDF library and interactive math and social studies games. This approach reduces resource needs, improves organization, and engages students.
