There are several strategies you can use to get links to students. You may have created a web page with links, entered links into an Edmodo library, or saved links in a bookmarks folder on a computer. Another strategy is to create a direct link to a website on your iPad.
To do this navigate to the website using Safari on your iPad. Find the "share with" button and click "add to home screen".
Below are a bakers dozen websites as examples for iPads or iPods intended for student use. There are many many more choices, so please leave a comment if there is another good website you'd recommend. And as a reminder, safari does not support flash so be sure your website is not dependent upon that technology.
