iPad Easel

Want a true authentic painting experience without the paint? Students can be engaged in art through the iPad. Simply download any drawing app that you would like and then put the iPad in an easel that provides multiple types of drawing/painting stylus and allow your students to draw via the iPad. No mess and the artwork can proudly be displayed on school websites or a blog because the drawings are already digital!



Practically you would need an easel and an iPad for each students, but if your school is looking to consider a class set of iPads, this could be one subject area you can share with them to help convince investing in iPads. Besides using this as a drawing easel, I can see this being used for a lot of other things.


I have invested a lot of money into iPad holders, ones with keyboards, ones that prop multiple angles, some that can be held both landscape and portrait style. The easel would provide a way to prop it up and with a synced blue tooth keyboard you can do some keyboarding practice or other apps where students would be unable to drop the iPad...a plus in my book.


The easels also come with additional tools. Some are equipped with a whiteboard on the other side to allow students to sign-up for iPad time or to have a brain storm/diagram session before moving to the iPad. Technology provides a lot of wondrous things, imagine what creative things you could do in the classroom with a stand for the iPad. Perhaps story time with an e-book where you show it off of the easel.


Stay Effective!
