App #59: iPad Teacher Guide - Teaching with iPad

App #59: iPad Teacher Guide - Teaching with iPad | IT Arts Entertainment and Leisure | Scoop.it
I would like to introduce you to a fantastic app for teaching with the iPad: iPad Teacher Guide ($2.99USD iTunes link). This app includes literally hundreds of lesson activity ideas for all age groups across several subject areas.

I am giving you a chance to win one of five promo codes for this app. Just read on until the end of the post to find out how.

This is a very useful app for iPad teachers, especially for those just beginning to use the tablet for their teaching. It introduces users to great teaching apps, many of which have been featured here on teachingwithipad.org. It contains several useful how-tos and videos to show you both basic and advanced features of these apps.

Users can spend hours simply exploring all the useful videos. Even those who are comfortable teaching with iPads can learn something new.
