The i Pad is a powerful educational device-versatile, mobile, flexible, and accessible to all learners, including those with disabilities.
Dr. Luis Pérez draws on years of classroom teaching and his own experience with a visual impairment to offer savvy tips and strategies for making the most of the i Pad. Perez shows how students with and without disabilities can become empowered creators and publishers of their own work. Teachers and parents of students in general education and special education settings will learn about the huge number of up-to-date i Pad applications that they can use today. Perez’s book is especially helpful for developing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).
