iPad Summit Reflections & Weekly Resources

It’s hard to truly quantify and explain the excitement of the past few days. Over 500 educators from around the world joined the EdTechTeacher Team in Boston this week to tackle the challenge of effectively putting iPads in the service of learning. As Co-Founder Justin Reich wrote in his post on EdTechResearcher – A Plea to Teachers with iPads: Make Your Practice Visible.

… My last conversation of the day was with a former principal and current graduate student at Harvard’s Ed School who said that the conference wasn’t really about iPads, it was about good teaching and learning. That’s my kind of iPad conference.

This week, in addition to our usual list of apps, blog posts, and video links, we’d like to leave you with some fantastic thoughts, quotes, and ideas from our participants.
