Title: iPad Tools for Flipping

Room: 200

Presenters: Drew Giorgi, Tom McLaughlin, Mary Schwander & Kevin Elvey

Description:

The iPad is a device that challenged everyone to rethink the integration of digital tools into their lives. Small enough to carry around yet robust enough to contain a library and shoot video, the iPad is great for both delivering educational content and encouraging students to indulge their own creativity.
