iPad in Education

The book I read to research this post was iPad In Education For Dummies by Sam Gliksman which is an excellent book which I bought from kindle. This book is about using the iPad from Apple and the many resources available like websites and apps to support education and is mainly aimed at educators. There is a ning social networking site at http://ipadeducators.ning.com which is aimed at people like teachers who want to keep abreast of the latest apps for the ipad. There are lots of online storage cloud sites like http://box.com , http://dropbox.com & http://evernote.com. Many of these sites offer at least free basic accounts and especially in the case of evernote offer storage for things like video and audio as well as a streaming ability to lots of compatible portable devices. Most people who use an iPad use http://iCloud.com the storage service from Apple. There are also photo services like http://photosync.com which lets you convert photos for free to lots of different formats that are used by compatible devices, websites and software. There is also an online educational resource at http://itunesu.com which has more online courses, lectures and curriculums than any other website. There are many ebook resources and some of the best are at http://gugenheim.org, http://kindle.com, http://kobo.com, http://nook.com & http://ibookstore.com. Gugenheim is a free resource of thousands of free ebooks. Kobo, Nook & Kindle all have free ebook reading apps and of course have their own ebook readers which are worth checking out. I really enjoyed this book which I think is indispensible to anyone interested in learning.
