Children don't realize they are using different levels of thinking when they are using the I-Pad. In the short time that I have had one in my classroom, students are using the apps, problem solving, and we are moving toward creating through the available apps we have.
Earlier this year I read an article about using an I-Pad with a child who had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. We disucssed this in a previous class, but I am posting this to share.

I think utilizing the technology we have available to meet the needs of our students is important. Searching for apps to work with students who have different abilities and needs allows us to differentiate and meet their needs. Which in turn allows us to be more effective teachers, and our students to be more productive as well.
