Getting Students Excited About Reading with the iPad
This document provides suggestions for using iPads to get students excited about reading. It suggests apps and activities such as having students: 1) Get in pairs, choose a character, and text a conversation between the characters. They can take screenshots and post online. 2) Read graphic novels, comic books, and interactive stories on apps. This exposes students to different reading material. 3) Create character timelines, book trailers, podcasts and movie scenes to reflect on and showcase what they've read. 4) Use apps like Skitch for annotating, StoryKit to turn chapters into movies, and Voicethread for reflecting on themes. Assessing with rubrics helps evaluate students' work.

- #34 Throughout my career, I needed help! How many of you need help? How many of you in your first year of teaching know you will want help quickly and from experienced educators in the field? How many of you would like this quickly while you face problems such as classroom management, communicating with parents effectively, or integrating new technology you were never trained in effectively? Throughout your career you will face many problems and like the Beatles say it is great to get a little help from our friends!
