How to make a nearly 500-year-old play about a morose, pampered prince relevant to contemporary high school seniors? Try iPad’s innovative, interactive “Shakespeare in Bits: Hamlet Edition” and other creative multi-touch texts complete with cool 3D graphics. Instead of ongoing, old-fashioned paper based lessons, traditionally bound books and handouts (and endless interoffice call slips, notes, and forms); students can create e-readers and short books with iBooks Author. Ipads also provide a better way to take notes. Students simply swipe over text to highlight (teachers too), and organized notes are ready- made and ready to be posted on Edline. In addition, iPads in the classroom offer a virtual library at teachers’ and students’ fingertips. And fast, fluid, graphics make visual, interactive learning content cool and appealing to every learning style.
