In the course-Using iPads for School Presentations, students will research how using iPads can positively impact the classroom and educational setting.  Resources and videos directly from Apple will provide data and statistics on the positive impact of using iPads for school based presentations.  Participants of the course will learn how to use PowerPoint and Google slides, as well as a variety of free or low cost apps to enhance school based presentations.  Students will have the opportunity to write a proposal to their school about the importance of iPads and develop a professional development presentation for the staff in the building to provide more information to others.  Participants will also have the opportunity to work on presentation skills to enhance the verbal and visual structure of iPad presentations.  Students who take this course will be researching websites, articles, apps, books, and videos.  All student’s will come out of the course with tips, utilization in the classroom, and topic ideas.  Student’s can also share ideas and network with peers through the class forum.  A final presentation is designated to reflect on the course overall, including visuals and takeaways.  All participants taking this class will work closely with the instructor to reflect and research the online resources.  Google Meet availability is an option and feedback will be given for each assignment.
