I recently received an iPad from my school district to use as a tool in my classroom. What I found initially was that the “work” I did was mainly looking at other people’s work.
I read online publications, followed people on Twitter, devoured eBooks, and checked in with my Facebook groups more frequently than before. I took attendance with the iPad and checked my email, but most of my creation was still done on my desktop or laptop.
Now that I have become more comfortable with the iPad, I am giving creation a try in 3 different ways:
1. Using Pages to create documents (which I can save in various formats)
2. Blogging
3. Annotating, note-taking, and sharing texts with iBooks.
How do you create with your iPad?
Yay, Kerry!
Thanks, Katie! We should catch up soon.
Love your blog! Try mine! http://Www.lalaadventure.blogspot.com
Cool beans! I've done some editing of my MS, but am still figuring out the kinks of pages, dropbox, etc. Also, still a little uncomfortable with the "keyboard" . . .
How fun, Kerry! Why do you like Pages vs. Word?
Thanks for your ideas, everyone. Judy, I am still trying to figure out when the iPad app for Dropbox will allow you to back up other than photo/video files from your iPad. Katie, I, too, like to play on my iPad! I like surfing with Flipboard. Donna, I prefer Word, but the iPad only has Pages, so I hope to gain more comfort playing with Pages. I certainly like the convenience of being able to draft on my iPad. Plus, Pages allows you to save your docs as PDFs, Word docs, or Pages documents.
