This workshop will discuss ways to launch iPads successfully into the middle school. Follow the journey from the very beginning of the process to the end of the first year. Discussions will include the costs (hidden and visible) of a 1:1 initiative, the pitfalls to avoid, and the many successes that occurred as a result. You will be introduced to meaningful apps, interactive activities, strategies to differentiate instruction, and sample projects to bring back to your district regardless of where you are in your implementation.
