1. Answer any Google questions

2. Break into two groups - those who want to work on iPads in the classroom and second group of those who want to spend some time in Study Island or Discovery Ed webinars/tutorials

3. iPads in the Classroom = this group will work independently with the shared Google document = they will come back together and share one or two ideas that they plan to utilize = we will collaborate these ideas and share them out to the group

4. Webinar/Tutorial group = Mary will start with this group and get them organized in which ever site they want to learn more about = they will work on their own once they have found the way into the sites

Handheld computers are everywhere. From mobile phones to handheld games, it's a very familiar sight to see people of all ages gazing into screens that they can hold. Schools are discovering that handhelds like iPod touch and iPad make great learning tools. In fact, handhelds can play a big part in project based learning. Not only do projects motivate students because they use exciting handheld technology, but they also lend themselves to student voice and choice. Watch or read below to be inspired to bring project based learning into your classroom, learn strategies for creating effective driving questions, and see how an iOS handheld can play a role in the planning, research/investigation, and presentation of projects.
