iPads for learning

I have been in on conversations about the validity and affordability of setting up every student with an iPad or other tablets. I always have advocated for devices like these in the classroom, the ones our students will be using in their near futures (or for many, right now!). What I noticed the more I played with it was that it really could serve teachers in a large number of ways.

Using Evernote to manage classes with iPads, but also useful for classes that use laptops. It also occurs to me that it would work with laptop carts (eg, not 1:1) because Evernote is web-based. Good conceptualization.

"Apple's support document for the issue doesn't exactly inspire confidence but the company says the latest software update may bring stability to the iPad Pro after a recharge."

"The iPad is not magic, and as many educators have found integrating them meaningfully is by no means a just-add-water proposition. The same applies to Project-Based Learning."

Multi-view. This is the 'game changer' ( ugh! I swore I'd never use that cliched buzzword but…). The biggest difference between Apple TV (0nly one screen at a time) and AirServer is the fact that you can mirror multiple iDevice screens on the computer/iWB/TV screen at the same time. nstead of waiting for control of the whiteboard pen, students and teachers can just project their iPad screen straight onto the larger screen. No longer do we have to wait for the teacher of student to finish writing on the board and then getting out of the way so we can actually see it. The work that is done on the iPad screen can be instantly shared without wasting time reproducing it on the iWB. Time saved, time used more productively. This has so many possibilities in the classroom.

In an effort to help teachers identify apps and Web 2.0 tools that can be used to attain various levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, we have re-constructed the Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel for the iPad with apps that Zeeland students have available on their iPad.

setting up diigo bookmarklet on ipad safari

Yeah it's still not the same as on PC, no easy way to access groups, etc. The official Diigo app development has been abandoned it seems. I've been using DiigoBrowser on iPad..it's not perfect but has much more functionaility.

A set of articles about iPad deployment using Configurator

"When it comes to deciding how or whether to use iPads, schools typically focus on budget issues, apps, networking logistics, check-in and check-out procedures, school and district tech-use policies, hardware precautions, and aspects of classroom management. But it's also important to think about instructional use, and to that end, consider the following questions."
