How the iPad can help students with special learning needs

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

In our session we will talk about how we use the educational apps on an iPad as strategies to be successful in school. We both have special learning needs that make organization, research, writing (both handwriting and specific assignments), and reminders difficult and the iPad let’s us keep up with everyone else. We want teachers and other students to know how iPads are useful and are not just for getting in trouble in class.

Some of the apps that we will talk about are:

Cam Scan/Tiny Scan

Notability

Explain Everything/Stop Motion/iMovie

Khan Academy

INstagrok

Dropbox/Edmodo

Google Drive/Messages (co-editing)

iBooks/Kobo/Voice Dream (OCR)
