iPads in the Special Education Classroom

The iPad is a device that is second to none when it comes to use in the special education classroom.  Dictation, Speech Selection, Guided Access, and Word Completion are built into the device itself without downloading the first app.  Today's presentation and resources focus on how to keep a student with special needs (or any student!) focused on their learning and what they are creating instead of their shortcomings.
