Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Welcome to my author page. I've been working in education and technology for over 25 years and I'm a firm believer in the potential of technology to change and revitalize our educational systems. I've spoken at conferences around the world about technology and educational reform.

I've consulted for small schools, districts and even governments; most recently having been invited to advise the Prime Minister of Greece about the use of mobile devices in their education system. I'm the author of the recently released “iPad in Education for Dummies” book published by Wiley Press and I also founded and manage the very popular iPads in Education Ning community website - www.ipadeducators.ning.com - that has a membership of many thousands of educators worldwide.

I have been waiting for this book as I know there is quite a buzz about incorporating IPADS in classrooms, and I wanted to know more about it. In reading through (and by the way, it's an easy, fun read..) - I am blown away by the possibilities this presents for our children. The school my children attend perceives itself as a school that promotes the use of technology, but in reality they do not know how to go about it. Most teachers want whiteboards for lecturing, and the children use a computer lab once in a while, largely as a tool to create nice documents.
This book gives a clear direction for integrating technology in schools. It opens new horizons for learning that place children in the center of a curiosity-based learning process; it shows how IPads can be used to share and increase interaction between children and teachers. More than anything else this opens the path for children to work through media which they love, and to expand their learning while having fun.
I am buying a copy for the school principal, head of our PTA and my children's teachers so they can lead our school to incorporate technology and benefit from the full spectrum of possibilities that IPADs can bring to our children' education.

Excellent Book

iPad in Education for Dummies is an excellent book. I have used the "for Dummies" books for years as I learned about computers. They have never disappointed me. This book is no exception. While I am well versed in the iPad and Education and work as an Integration Technology Specialist with a focus on incorporating iPads into the Elementary classroom I took a chance on this book as it was current and I figured that there was still much I needed to learn. I was not mistaken. It provides direction on how to begin a program but then moves into actual incorporation into the classroom. I have already been able to share a number of the ideas with the staff.

If you are looking for a pedagogical treatise this is not your book but if you are looking for a hands on/how to book this is the one for you. I recommend this book to the beginner or the advanced user. There is something for every educator.

Well done Mr. Gliksman and Thank You!

Even after having used the iPad in the HS classroom for 3 years, I was still quickly becoming overwhelmed with managing and trying to keep up with new apps, operating issues, and new how to's. This book has solved those issues, with easy layout, bright pictures, step by step instructions, app suggestions, sample lesson plans, etc. This book goes above and beyond the functions of the iPad and really gets into its use in the classroom. Spring Break wasn't long enough to go through all the material covered in this gem. Thanks!
