Free iBook about Minnetonka's 1:1 iPad Apple Distinguished Program: Four+ Years Transforming Learning


I recently published a newly updated and free iBook about Minnetonka's 1:1 iPad Apple Distinguished Program: Four+ Years Transforming Learning. This interactive book contains 20 short videos that will take you right into our classrooms and allow you to see our program in action. The videos include interviews with students, teachers, and parents provide valuable information and highlight key components of our 1:1 program. The book itself contains background information that provides a detailed understanding of how our implementation started, expanded, and has been further developed over the past four and a half years. 

I've gathered a lot of the data and summarized the results of our program in this iBook. There are many stories and actual example lessons from a variety of teachers and subjects areas will help readers gain an understanding of the entire program. I've shared many of the lessons we have learned and best practices we have developed over the past four+ years of implementing a 1:1 iPad Program. I hope this book helps readers either begin or improve their own 1:1 program. 

The iBook has five sections: Visionary Leadership, Innovative Learning & Teaching, Compelling Evidence of Success, Ongoing Professional Development, and Flexible Learning Environment. These sections were actually set by Apple for their Distinguished Educational Program. For the third time, Minnetonka Public Schools has been selected by Apple as a Distinguished Program for the 2015-2017 school year. More news about this recognition can be found here.
