How Schools Use iPads to Increase Learning: Three Case Studies
Thursday, August 9th - 4PM Eastern Time
 
In This Session
Want to make your classroom more individualized, efficient, and fun? In our 
community’s next webinar, David Vinca, Founder of eSpark Learning, and his 
colleague Colleen Loftus, will show you how three schools revitalized learning 
with successful iPad implementations.  They’ll begin with Mineola SD in New 
York, and discuss the value of letting students take home devices. David and 
Colleen will share how iPads can be used to increase hands-on, individualized 
learning and raise achievement levels on assessments, just like this New York 
school district did.  Next, they will explore the unique ways that iPads can 
improve opportunities for Special Education populations.  We’ll see how the KIPP 
charter school network in Chicago used iPads to improve learning outcomes of 
their special education students. Their final case study will show how the Utica 
School District re-imagined kindergarten.  Hear all about this innovative 
program, including the efficient way the iPad hardware was deployed in this 
Michigan district.  Join David and Colleen on August 9th for ideas on how to use 
iPads to invigorate your classrooms.
