page or a document inside an App. As long as the text isn't part of an image, you can copy and paste it.

2. Touch and hold your finger on the iPad screen on the text you wish you to select. A magnifying glass appears. Position the glass over the text you want to copy.

3. Remove your finger from the screen and tap "Select," which highlights a word of text in the selection.

Integrating Technology

Integrating TechnologyHow do you include technology in your

practice?•Find a tool and figure out how to use it

with your students/staff •Think about what you already do with

your students/staff and then how technology could deepen or expand on the lesson (POST)

•Think of a challenging task and how technology might help

21

21

POST Method• P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience.

Know what scaffolding they’ll need.• O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it.

• S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin.

• T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.

How to Get Free E-BooksSearch for "0.00." This is the oldest trick in the book (pun intended). Simply

go to the Barnes and Noble bookstore or the Kindle bookstore and search for "0.00." Your results will yield dozens of free books available for direct download to your device.

Swap books with strangers. Some books are equipped with a "lending" feature. Amazon and B&N probably intended that lending would be used among friends, but clever Web sites likeBookLending.com and eBookFling.com let users list their e-books and swap inventory with anyone else.

Check out e-books from the library. Ancient as they may seem, libraries are on trend and offer e-books using a service called Overdrive. Here's how to use the service (although the tutorial is intended for Nook owners, the same process applies to Kindle).

Find free books online. Many books, especially classics like "Frankenstein," are available under public domain licensing and have been converted into e-books for your reading pleasure. Other license-free titles available include those published under a Creative Commons license.

54

Free Books for E-ReadersThere are over 1,000,000 titles available for free, and

you can find them in these places:•Many Books•Open Library• Project Gutenberg•Google Books

Once you've found a book from any of the above sources, download them in MOBI format for Kindle or EPUB for Nook, and manually transfer them from your desktop to your device (connected via USB).
