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.

More Schools Embrace the iPad as a Learning Tool - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • teach Kafka in multimedia, history through “Jeopardy”-like games and math with step-by-step animation of complex problems.
    • anonymous
       
      Finally! We couldn't do that before. And we all KNOW the higher order thinking that goges on in Jeopardy games. Ugh!
  • The iPads cost $750 apiece
    • anonymous
       
      $750 EACH? They couldn't get a laptop for that? One that could do all that this ipad can do AND MORE??
  • Educators, for instance, are still divided over whether initiatives to give every student a laptop have made a difference academically.
    • anonymous
       
      And the reason is that we buy toys and only allow our students to do what they always did before, yet we expect different results. Notice what they say these kids will use these ipads for. Revolutionary? Hardly. Sound education? Not even close.

  • “IPads are marvelous tools to engage kids, but then the novelty wears off and you get into hard-core issues of teaching and learning.”
    • anonymous
       
      Exactly! When they see that they can't add apps or use it as a personal learning deice (locked down, it's still learning that's direted by the teacher and not by the student) the novelty will wear off VERY quickly.
  • $56,250 for the initial 75
    • anonymous
       
      How many regular laptops could they have bought for that amount? Machines that can do all the ipad can do AND MORE!
  • 32-gigabyte, with case and stylus
    • anonymous
       
      They need 32 gig? I'll be willing to be they don't fill HALF of that. NO music. NO photos. Just apps? This decision was made by someone who thought more is better. Oh, and.. stylus? HUH?
  • play math games, study world maps and read “Winnie the Pooh.”
    • anonymous
       
      Did you hear me screaming on this one? OH BOY! They can read Winnie the Pooh! And finally study world maps. And THEN what?
  • “I think this could very well be the biggest thing to hit school technology since the overhead projector,
    • anonymous
       
      And we know how much the overhead projector raises the level of Bloom's and fosters student-centered environments. It allows the TEACHERS to do things. Not the students.
  • The New York City public schools have ordered more than 2,000 iPads, for $1.3 million
    • anonymous
       
      AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHUUUUUGGGGHGHHHHHH!!!
  • More than 200 Chicago public schools applied for 23 district-financed iPad grants totaling $450,000. The Virginia Department of Education is overseeing a $150,000 iPad initiative
    • anonymous
       
      Economic recession? WHAT economic recession? Oh my. I hope that folks revisit these 'investments' in two years. There will be NO improvement and they will again blame the technology instead of the fact that it was the WRONG technology!
  • “If there isn’t an app that does something I need, there will be sooner or later,”
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, but students won't be able to install it.

Turn Your iPad 1 or 2 into an Interactive Whiteboard (Practical Practice) - 6 views

  •  
    "I recently figured out a way to turn the iPad into an interactive whiteboard. Now, I'm not talking about just drawing on your iPad and projecting that drawing in front of the class, and I'm not talking about using the iPad2 to connect directly into a projector and show what's on the iPad. "

Preparing Your School for an iPad Implementation - iPads in Education - 0 views

  •  
    "Planning is imperative for any technology initiative - iPad or otherwise. You need to ensure that you clearly understand and communicate how the technology integrates with your overall pedagogical objectives. Too many institutions purchase technology and then search for ways to utilize it ... or leave it collecting dust on the shelf. Planning needs to consider both infrastructure needs and the educational applications of the new technology. Without the proper preparation, technology initiatives are liable to become expensive failures."

    From Mara Linaberger: Great discussion on the iPad everyone! Next Friday we will be launching an iPad pilot with 48 art, music and theatre teachers at IU1 as part of our ArtsEducator 2.0 project. You can read about our inquiry and preparation done this summer to get some practice in, and to think through some of the logistics these folks might face this fall with their own pad here: http://artsedtech.wordpress.com/ Our thinking was to have the teachers use the iPad as a personal tool first, then move to them as a tool for instruction. The logical step for some may be to then take the tool into student use while others may stick to it as an instructional tool. We'll be documenting our project online here.

More Schools Embrace the iPad as a Learning Tool - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • less costly options, like smartphones
    • anonymous
       
      Oh.. there y' go. A smart phone can do even LESS than the ipad. Show me how a smartphone supports your curriculum moreso than a laptop.
  • paying for their iPads through federal and other grants,
    • anonymous
       
      Doesn't ANYONE question the wisdom of this?
  • “You can do everything that the iPad can with existing off-the-shelf technology and hardware for probably $300 to $400 less per device,
    • anonymous
       
      Agreed. But it's NOT the smartphone
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • About 5,400 educational applications are available specifically for the iPad, of which nearly 1,000 can be downloaded free.
    • anonymous
       
      I wonder how many applications are available on the web - for FREE?
  • “It has brought individual technology into the classroom without changing the classroom atmosphere,”
    • anonymous
       
      OK - THis one is beyond screams. It makes me ANGRY!! Can you believe this? And this guy probably gets paid more than you do!
  • “It’s not about a cool application,” Dr. Brenner said. “We are talking about changing the way we do business in the classroom.”
    • anonymous
       
      Not according to Mr Curtis., He want this because it WON'T change what you're doing in the classroom. This is just SO absurd to me.
