iPads at NCS: Teaching Tools on Your Time

Next semester, we are going to resume our Teaching Tools on Your Time training series by focusing on iPads!  In addition, we will conduct a brief faculty/staff survey to solicit feedback about what you would like covered in future trainings.

iPads at NCS


Currently we have two iPads in the library that we hope teachers will consider using in the classroom.  We've decided to kick this iPad training session off with a new portion of our library website devoted solely to iPads at NCS:

http://www.ncslibrary.org/ipad

On these pages we have listed useful apps (make sure to check both the "apps for teachers" and "apps for students" sections!) as well as a description about how the library is hoping to expand the iPad program next year.

We thought we would share these pages with you now in case any of you receive an iPad over the holidays.  Make sure to check out this site to get our app recommendations and begin to brainstorm ways you might use your new iPad in the classroom!

"App"-solutely Fabulous


If you follow our NCS Library Blog, you may have noticed that we have a new series of posts where we list our favorite must-have apps.  Make sure to check our blog periodically to see our new recommendations.  Here are our first two "App"-solutely Fabulous posts:


Schedule a Training


To set up a time for training, email Chip Chase and list your available times. We are still training users on Glogster, Voicethread, Google Earth, and Jing, so if you'd like to learn how to use those resources, let us know.  We are also still offering our hands-on service if you would like our help to implement a tech tool you just don't have the time for.
