iPad in Education

iPadを採用する学校が増えて来ているみたいです。

The New York Times
The New York City public schools have ordered more than 2,000 iPads, for $1.3 million; 300 went to Kingsbridge International High School in the Bronx, or enough for all 23 teachers and half of the students to use at the same time.
More than 200 Chicago public schools applied for 23 district-financed iPad grants totaling $450,000. The Virginia Department of Education is overseeing a $150,000 iPad initiative that has replaced history and Advanced Placement biology textbooks at 11 schools. And six middle schools in four California cities (San Francisco, Long Beach, Fresno and Riverside) are teaching the first iPad-only algebra course, developed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Learning with iPad      Educational Apps



日本語のクラスで使そうなAppsを探すのは少し大変だったりしますが、まずはLite版を無料で買って試してみてください。


ちなみに、Appsは日本語ではアプスではなくアプリです。よく考えてみればそうなんですが、どうやって言うのか少し考えてしまいました・・・
