Introduction
Our PTA bought iPads for all the students in each classroom. Some of the students have never
used the iPads, so this lesson will give them the basic instructions on how to use it. I will first let
the students know that this is just a smaller computer and they will use the touch screen. They all
are familiar with the touch screen because the computers were changed over to the touch screen
versions, donated by Apple, through a grant process. (This is a Title One School)

knowledgeable, and there was a 100% interaction with the students. They were begging
for more information every day.
