Advanced iPad Classroom | Indiana Jen - 0 views

  • A key concept that we employed is that it’s about using a handful of apps to do a variety of projects effectively and creatively. This is the “One Screen Model”
  • The central tenet of using iPads is App Fluency: “The ultimate goal of fluency challenges is to be able to move information from app to app and from device
  • “Using two or more applications or web tools in conjunction with one another to create a final product or experience that would not be possible with using a single tool

  • As workflow was a common topic throughout the session, we decided to switch up in the end to discuss some ways to facilitate collecting and curating student material. One of the most popular tools for getting content off of iPads and shared with the teacher is Google Drive; many schools have become Google Apps for Education institutions making this much easier. One of the best tools available to teachers working in a GAFE environment is the script Doctopus. This tool enables teachers to distribute content effectively and collect it easily without having to worry about all of the snafu’s that happen with sharing (typos in email addresses, titles, etc).

5 Critical Mistakes Schools Make With iPads (And How To Correct Them) - Edudemic - 2 views

    • Afzal Shaikh
       
      I can attest to this. Having the iPads for everyone is a challenge. 
  • iPads were designed as a single-user device and not meant to be shared via carts. Financial constraints have forced many schools to abandon 1:1 aspirations, but sharing them separates the functionality from the user. Carts that rotate through several classrooms force teachers to take time away from learning, create a nightmare of student accounts, and often focus attention on workflow systems rather than learning.

Handing out iPads to students isn't enough - latimes.com - 0 views

  • The focus tends to be on how to use computers rather than on what makes them work. Students may become adept at surfing the Web and at word processing, but they aren't developing the critical thinking skills essential to creating the software and hardware that power computers.

    Handing out iPads isn't enough - we need to make sure we are teaching the students critical thinking skills as well as simply HOW to use computers/ iPads.

How to Set Up Gmail for School iPads and iPods - Learning in Hand - 2 views

  • One challenge for teachers with students using devices like iPad and iPod touch is collecting student work. Unfortunately, there is not one consistent way for apps to export what a user creates. Some apps connect to Dropbox, some share through iTunes, some export to a website, some share through an IP address, but most apps email content as an attachment.

The Balancing Act of Screen Time (Long Version) | Beth Holland - 1 views

  • “Today, if I were to lose the devices (iPads) that that my students have,” writes Shawn, “I would mourn the loss not of the technology but of the voices that my students have gained through having them.”
  • “Innovation shouldn’t look like a tablet or a laptop. It should look like a learning environment where students—with teachers at their side— choose their learning targets and aim to hit them.” writes Grant Lichtman (@GrantLichtman)
  •  
    Another good discussion on the topic being called "screen time", from Beth Holland (my fav!). 
  •  
    I really liked the idea of what goes into the iPad and not just what it can do... The school has an unconventional take on the iPad's purpose. The devices are not really valued as portable screens or mobile gaming devices. Teachers I talked to seemed uninterested, almost dismissive, of animations and gamelike apps. Instead, the tablets were intended to be used as video cameras, audio recorders, and multimedia notebooks of individual students' creations. The teachers cared most about how the devices could capture moments that told stories about their students' experiences in school. Instead of focusing on what was coming out of the iPad, they were focused on what was going into it. - The Smart Way to Use iPads in the Classroom, April 15, 2013
