1:1 Ipads in Kindergarten - iPads in Education - 7 views
-
With the iPads, I am able to use applications to target very specific and individualized needs of my students.
-
The outcome, after only 14 weeks of implementation, surpasses even my own high expectations.
-
I am teaching the same reading and writing program, students are similar, the only change has been using the iPad as a tool to differentiate instruction. The data from my classroom is compelling. Last year, before the implementation of iPads, 46% of my students were reading books on grade level, 39% were reading books above grade level and 15% were reading books below grade level. After the implementation of the iPads, 100% of my students are reading above grade level. Because I can individualize instruction with the iPads, 100% of my students are reading first grade sight words, without the ipads, only 65% were able to accomplish this.
AppsBar - 6 views

Appsbar was designed to fill the gap between over-simplified apps and costly, professionally-produced apps. It presents myriad personalization opportunities with a unique interface that guides creators through the entire process - from creation, to editing, to publication - with visual and textual clues at each step. As creators build apps page by page, each app becomes more personalized through limitless combinations of background colors and fonts and the ability to upload images and videos from personal libraries.
Appsbar was introduced in 2011 as the first cost-free way for anyone, at any skill level and with a limited budget, to make rich, personalized apps that reflect their own personality, business or event with direct access to app stores. Appsbar meets the demand for a turn-key solution for creating and publishing apps, while eliminating the common hassles faced by even experienced app developers, including how to develop for multiple devices and platforms, how to beat long-wait periods for publication, and how to stop rejections from app stores.
