In the morning, educators will be exposed to a variety of effective iPad apps for supporting and maximizing the literacy development of their diverse learners. The presenter will demonstrate ways to use the iPad to enhance instruction of phonics, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing. Educators will learn how to evaluate an apps effectiveness and purpose as well as functional ways to monitor their students' progress using data from the app.

In the afternoon, Erik will demonstrate how Google provides a variety of apps that schools have used to enhance their education. These web based services certainly assist in student learning, but it also helps educators in documenting their students' progress. Participants will also have opportunity to practice using Google Sites and Google Forms and consider how these two resources can enable better, more organized documentation. A google account, school or personal, is required for this part of the workshop.
