The iPad is a powerful educational device: versatile, mobile, engaging, and accessible to all learners, including those with disabilities. Dr. Luis Pérez draws on years of classroom teaching and his own experience with a visual impairment to offer savvy tips and strategies for making the most of the iPad. Perez shows how students with and without disabilities can become empowered creators and publishers of their own work. Teachers and parents of students in general education and special education settings will learn about the huge number of up-to-date iPad applications that they can use today. Learn about multimedia development, digital photography, blogs and websites, writing and reading supports, accommodations and supports for speech, vision, communications, executive functioning and more. Tips for using Google tools and highlights of favorite apps are sprinkled throughout this short, highly readable book.
