iPads in the classroom!

We've all been seeing the hype created by the iPad, especially when it comes to being used in the classroom. Mobile devices are being identified as the next big tech tool for learning so... here are some links I've collecting.

My hope is that a school will begin a trial / pilot iPad programme. OR, just buy a couple for staff to take home and try...OR better still, buy me one..=)

Here's an example of one of MANY educational apps for the iPad.

An amazing wiki, and another here with LOTS of resources for both the iPad and the iPod.

A blog post about using the iPad in classrooms.

Some student achievement data for use with the iPod (lets face it, the iPad is just a big screen iPod, essentially)

Some info from a blog post about the iPad2.

This video shows the iPad in action - specifically how students might use them.

And lastly - the MAMMOTH wiki for Ipad resources, created by Mike Fisher!

So...who will be the early adopters for our cluster? - yes, that is unashamedly aimed at the competitive streak in some of you.
