iPads can improve student learning in 3 main ways: 1) Apps support reading, note-taking, definitions and more. 2) Tools allow for independence, creativity, collaboration and engagement. 3) Functions like cameras, recorders and screen sharing strengthen instruction and communications within and outside the classroom.
