iPads (or other devices) and Literature Circles – co-starring Edmodo.

Interesting and rare article that I can find on actual learning experiences in the classroom.

Our school are taking the plunge and purchasing 20 ipads next term. Our job now is to prepare the learning experiences and the apps we want to start with. Our goal is to steer clear of simple browsing and drill based games and to tackle guided and creative learning which aids collaboration, critical thinking and communicating.

Update - check out this blog from Darcy Moore - the idea that reading is now social on the ipad, highlight a passage and then tweet it!
