34. Do make sure your students know the purpose of the iPad. Do demo the apps for the students. Do limit the number of apps you use. Do think about how you are going to “take up” assignments. Don’t use an iPad if you don’t have time to plan well. Don’t use an iPad as a time filler. Don’t assume your online textbooks will open on an iPad. Don’t let the students make changes to the settings.

35. Looking for the Right Apps Do a search in iTunes and on the web Ask others (including your students) Check the ratings Read the reviews Check the content
