It is a gray kind of marine-layer day here in California. The kind of day that makes me want to hunker down in my jammies, grab my ubiquitous cup of coffee and read a book. Except now that I am an iPad owner, it makes me want to cuddle that sleek, little rectangle and find something new and different to do.
So reluctantly, I put my NY Times crossword puzzle aside and I continued my quest for great Education related apps.
I found one.
When we tuned in to EEC’s blog, we we were shocked to learn that Jennifer Edstrom, Principal Consultant of EEC, had broken down and purchased an iPad, after much skepticism on her part. In today’s episode, we will learn about one of her favorite apps for the iPad so far.
I promised you earlier that I would begin examining how I plan to use the iPad as a classroom teacher. One of the first apps I purchased is one that I wish I had been able to use when I was a fourth grade classroom teacher.
Happy Monday morning!
This morning, uncharacteristically, I had some time on my hands.
Those that know me are aware that this happens only when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Having said this, I found myself in a bit of work limbo and so took my little iPad down to the closest coffee establishment with free wi-fi and had myself a cup o’ Joe.
I did it.
I bought an iPad. A 32GB wi-fi iPad.
Those of you who read my initial post about the iPad are probably scowling or pointing your fingers and saying, “I told you so.”
What can I say? You were right. I am mercurial. That’s what comes from being a Gemini.
And my Kindle died. TWICE. In TWO weeks. So I bought an iPad.
Yes.
But enough about me…let’s get back to the iPad. Seriously, cue the Purcell trumpets. If I were typing this on my iPad, I actually COULD cue the Purcell trumpets via iTunes.
