iPads in The Classroom : A Great Free eBook

I have recently came across a useful eBook  called iPads in The Classroom. John Evans featured in one of his scoops in iPads in Education. Upon going through the content of the eBook I thought you might be interested in it as well especially that it is free of charge.

iPads in The Classroom is the fruit of a work done by Sabrina Huber in her thesis which took her almost two years. The eBook is a great read and I am pretty sure you will find it useful . Here is an abstract that describes Sabrina Huber `main focus and objectives for the ebook :

The current media landscape is changing and growing at a fast pace which is increasingly affecting the school sector. Numerous schools all over the world have already focused on the value added to lessons by tablet computers, such as Apple’s iPad. A myriad of learning applications and ways to transfer subject matters are provided on and through such devices. However, at the present time, there is little experience with respect to the didactically reasonable inclusion of tablets in schools. Therefore, the motivation of this book, which is based on a diploma thesis, is to provide a general overview of the didactical integration of tablets, in this case, Apple’s iPad. Within a field experiment educational apps are being tested and evaluated according to the Austrian curriculum for foreign languages as well as iOS Human Interface Guidelines that focus on user interface and user experience

  1. I've just downloaded the book and look forward to reading it. Thank- you for bringing this to my attention. FYI though, it is not an ebook per se, but rather a PDF file. ebooks utilize variable font size technology (and rearrange to maintain a particullar page size) rather than simple zoom.
