iPads in the From Consumption and Curation to Creativity shows how iPads can be used constructively and creatively in K-12 classrooms. Co-authors Tom Daccord and Justin Reich of EdTechTeacher craft a meaningful, constructive, and powerful vision and process of iPad integration for school teachers, school administrators, instructional technology specialists and parents.

For the last three years EdTechTeacher has been working with schools and districts across the United States and abroad, helping them understand how to make effective use of iPads. We craft a meaningful, constructive, and powerful vision of iPad integration that is the essence of this book. At the same time, iPads in the From Consumption and Curation to Creativity introduces case studies, practical strategies, and specific apps that make the book and our teaching directly applicable to classroom practice.

In all, iPads in the From Consumption and Curation to Creativity explores the instructional possibilities for augmenting --and even redefining -- learning in digital age classrooms. If we want educators to integrate exemplary practices and lead and inspire the next generation, then we must prepare them accordingly. This book serves as an indispensable guide.

Practical, needed, "don't put the cart before the horse"-kind of thought-shared with regard to iPad integration. While the book is focused on the iPad specifically, much of it could be applied to any device--it's about the mindset, the culture, and the student learning.
