Description: This workshop provides information on how to use iPads in the classroom. We will be focusing on how to use this technology in your math classes. We will be discussing how to incorporate this tool into lessons that you already teacher, creating lesson plans to use in your classroom, and share resources that we can use to engage your students.

Prerequisite Knowledge: The attendee needs to know what a tablet is and to be able to use one with basic skills.
