I wish I had known about this summit prior to this article. Although I wouldn't have been able to attend, I would have tried to follow it as it was happening. All the high school teachers in my district received iPads in preparation for all incoming freshmen (and any other student who is willing to rent to own) to have iPads next year. Every few weeks, instead of regular tech training, an Apple-certified trainer comes to demonstrate tools for our use. Unfortunately, without regular practice, these tools will never be implemented. Of course, if we followed the bottom line of this article, we would determine what we want to do in the classroom that technology can help with and then find the iPad app that can accomplish that goal. I can dream.
