Welcome to the Pembina Hills iPad Exploration Website! The Pembina Hills iPad Exploration Website is a 'digital bulletin board' of resources and supplementary material that has been curated for this iPad workshop. There will be two half-day workshops June 6, 2013.

1)The morning workshop will be an introduction to the iPad and will include an overview of the iPad's basic features and tools to support educators in becoming critical consumers of apps. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) will be the framework used to consider how to best leverage the iPad, as well as the apps it can access, for teaching and learning. Time will be provided to explore a variety of free apps in small groups.

2) The afternoon workshop will have participants introduced to the SETT Framework as one way to explore and choose apps when intending to use them as Assistive Technology for Learning (ATL) for students with special education needs. We will explore built in accessibility features of iOS6 and time will be provided to explore a variety of free apps in small groups.

Participants must bring an iPad. Ensure your device is running a current version of iOS (at least iOS6). This update is free. Also, download the free APPS for exploration on the APP-sploration page of this wiki before attending the workshop.
