The easy way to effectively implement iPads in the classroom The iPad is a natural fit for education in the 21st century, and this hands-on guide shows you just how to implement it in your educational institution. iPad in Education For Dummies serves as a roadmap for the device's successful use as an education tool—from both a personal and institutional perspective. It examines why the iPad is a perfect fit for contemporary educational needs, how to purchase and deploy them within an organization, and outlines best practices, tools, and apps for their educational use across all curricula and grade levels. A cross between a powerful computer, iPod, game console, and e-reader, the iPad is an ultraportable—and ultra cool—touch device from Apple.

Welcome to my author page. I've been working in education and technology for over 25 years and I'm a firm believer in the potential of technology to change and revitalize our educational systems. I've spoken at conferences around the world about technology and educational reform.
I've consulted for small schools, districts and even governments; most recently having been invited to advise the Prime Minister of Greece about the use of mobile devices in their education system. I'm the author of the recently released "iPad in Education for Dummies" book published by Wiley Press and I also founded and manage the very popular iPads in Education Ning community website - www.ipadeducators.ning.com - that has a membership of many thousands of educators worldwide.
