This presentation highlights the way that the iPad has become an essential part of Project Based Learning in the Common Core.  This approach takes the teacher from a director of learning to a facilitator of learning all while increasing student engagement.  Effective teaching and learning with iPads integrates technology into the curriculum anytime, anywhere.  The examples shared will help teachers of varying content areas and grade levels to use project based learning activities as a vehicle to integrating multiple common core literacy and math strands.  In addition, teachers share how skills-based grading practices blend easily with project based learning during the implementation of common core standards.
