Teens & iPads
This document provides ideas for engaging iPad activities for teens. It suggests using various apps to create multimedia presentations, debates, discussions, goal boards, character chats, and podcasts. Mobile learning allows students to access materials offline and online easily with vast storage on their devices. Setting up an online class community through Edmodo allows sharing and collaboration. Journaling, reading for pleasure, and creating book trailers, movie scenes, and playlists can help engage teens in learning.
