Abstract

This chapter presents two unique cases of pre-service and in-service teachers utilizing iPad devices during literacy instruction, identifies numerous affordances and constraints of employing these devices, and offers suggestions for preparing teachers to integrate the iPad into literacy instruction. It is argued that iPad devices have the potential to truly transform literacy teaching and learning if used properly. If teachers are well prepared to use iPad devices effectively for literacy teaching, then their students will be able to utilize this mobile technology to enhance their literacy knowledge while also gaining technological skills essential for participation in our global society.
