We are getting over 500 Chromebooks this year so I wanted to focus on them. 
I found the 100 Best Tips for Chromebooks on Kathy Schrock's website.
http://www.chromestory.com/chromebook/tips/
The second website is a blog that shares 7 reasons students should use Chromebooks.  This will be helpful in justifying to teachers and perhaps parents why students will have them.  The reasons are quite interesting!

This short video highlights features so the teachers can get a quick overview of how they work for students.

I found an interesting resource for tips for smartphone users in the  classroom. I especially like the one as a flipped classroom. http://www.teachhub.com/how-use-cell-phones-learning-tools

I also think that teaching digital citizenship is very important and found this infographic that is well laid out http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2013/04/awesome-digital-citizenship-graphic-for.html]]> 2016-08-21 17:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119053036 dguer001 https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119053113 2016-08-21 17:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119053113 dguer001 https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119053311 2016-08-21 17:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119053311 ababc006 https://padlet.com/ababc006/lmzktgxy1y2/wish/119054670 For the longest time I've wanted to infuse e-readers into my classroom.  Specifically Nook devices where students could have picture books read to them to help improve their fluency. This article, written by Star News Online, tells about how the use of Nook devices is "the most awesomest" thing ever.

I thought it best to go straight to the source and looked at the Apple website. They had a number of interesting lesson plans submitted by teachers who use iPad in the classroom. Many of these lesson could be easily adapted for multiple grade levels and content areas. There are also links for Special Education and real stories.
http://www.apple.com/education/teach-with-ipad/


I thought this site has many useful links and resources, especially the app reviews.
http://www.teachhub.com/20-amazing-ipad-apps-educators

This site had a lot of resources for use by teachers, students, and parents. There are educations games, app for project based learning, and perhaps most importantly, how iPad function in education and ways to deploy their use.
