Teaching
Integration of the iPad
In order to acclimate our students to the use of mobile devices we have integrated specific apps and assignments that take advantage of the unique capabilities of the iPad (and apps) into the Lesson Plans of each course. Different courses will use different apps in different ways.
This Lesson provides an overview of the apps and specific uses of the iPad relevant to this course. Below you will find a list of the apps that have been integrated into this course and how they are going to be used.
iPad Integration in the Lesson Plans
Each course in the program is organized into Lesson Plans. When we want you to use an app or the iPad for a specific task we will introduce it in a box that looks like the one below.
In the actual Lesson Plans in the course you will encounter boxes like this one that explain the use of the app at a particular time in the course. Each of these corresponds with a Lesson in the iTunes U companion course that provides a direct link to the app and, in many cases, a tutorial on how to use the app. You can click on the icon to go to the App Store and download the app. The link to the app can also be found below the app. Links to all the required and suggested apps can be found below as well. |

Coursebooks
We have created a series of Coursebooks for our Mental Health Classes. Some classes have specific course books for those classes. This class does not have a designated Coursebook.
There are two Mental Health Program Coursebooks that we think could be helpful to you as a student within our program. These books can be downloaded for free from iBooks on your iPad. Click on the links below and you will be directed to download each book.
