In March 2012, about a year after getting an iPad, I decided to start another blog: iPad English. The idea was to talk about apps and other ways in which the iPad could be used for learning English. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and I reviewed quite a lot of apps over six months. However, maintaining two blogs was just too time-consuming and iPad English is now 'on hiatus', as they say. Having said that, I'm teaching classes this year in which all the students have iPads (provided by the school) so it may be time to revive iPad English ...
Among other things, the iPad is a wonderful tool for language learners. I've already posted several articles about iOS apps for learning English on The English Blog, but having recently become the proud owner of a new iPad (I had an iPod Touch before), I thought it would be fun to start another blog where I could talk exclusively about ways in which teachers and learners of English can use Apple's magical device. So, if you've got an iPad, or are thinking of getting one, head on over to iPad English (www.ipadenglish.net) and join the conversation.
