Give your primary classroom a jumpstart and explore transformational iPad apps that support best practices and help to create a classroom that is innovative, collaborative, and creative. Participants experience learning activities that can be adapted for use in their classrooms or that serve as a springboard for ideas. Participants are also challenged to think differently about the role of technology in the classroom and how that role can be transformed when kids are active, creative, purposeful users of iPads.
Take a screenshot of a summer adventure in Apple Maps (past or future) and annotate it.
