    iPads in The Classroom: A Great FREE eBook

    iPads in The Classroom is the fruit of a work done by Sabrina Huber in her thesis which took her almost two years. The eBook is a great read and I am pretty sure you will find it useful . Here is an abstract that describes Sabrina Huber `main focus and objectives for the ebook :

Therefore, the motivation of this book, which is based on a diploma thesis, is to provide a general overview of the didactical integration of tablets, in this case, Apple’s iPad. Within a field experiment educational apps are being tested and evaluated according to the Austrian curriculum for foreign languages as well as iOS Human Interface Guidelines that focus on user interface and user experience
