**Introduction to iPads**
The iPad and similar tablet devices offer a new method of interacting with students in the classroom. Although they do not have the full functionality of a laptop, there are many apps available that make use of the iPad's touch screen technology and interactive user interface. This technology is intuitive and engaging for learners of all ages and is often powerful when used effectively in the classroom setting.



**Learning to use the iPad -**
The younger you are, the more natural and intuitive the iPad feels. Terms like //swipe, swoosh, swish, tap, shake, tip, pinch//, and //jiggle// are used with frequency as students master iPad maneuvers.
