Ideas for using an iPad for teaching

Came across this Google Doc a while ago and would like to share it here on this blog. Entitled "62 Interesting Ways to Use an iPad in the Classroom", it's quite a through overview of many ideas for how to use this tool for enhancing learning. While not particularly targeted towards TESOL, almost all of these ideas can be adapted for language learning with a bit of creativity and preparation. At the very least, by creatively engaging students you'll be able to use English in a very content-based way- in other words, the focus of your conversation won't be on English itself but rather on the activity at hand. One of the best parts of this presentation are clues to a lot of apps you may not have heard about. What's also cool is that you can contact the creator (Tom Barrett) and ask for permission to add your own ideas to this on-going collection of ideas. Very neat.

Which activities could you see yourself doing with your students?
