  • I am NOT interested in using the iPad with my students as a worksheet substitution! Kill and drill apps on the iPad are still just that… kill and drill activities. I want my students to : use apps to create, not just consume fluently pick apps that will serve their purpose fluently switch between apps, then insert, embed, share and disseminate their creations We have to expose students to a variety of apps to help them gain skills in iPad Fluency By fluency I mean the ability to: connect tasks effortless together (ex.creating and editing a video, then uploading, embedding and disseminating on several platforms) CREATE and then being able to COMMUNICATE- the ability to create and communicate your creation is one of the main characteristics of fluency record, edit and then publish a movie that automatically posts to my blog take an image…edit…then automatically post to my photo stream as well as embed into a blog post work within several apps, then remix content from each one by being able to import them from one app to another.

  • PicView’s iPad app lets you add voice tags and annotations to pictures to tell your story
  • PicView is a new, free iOS app that enables users to add voice tags and annotations to images, videos and business applications. We’re giving it an early review, as the app is only available for iPad and supports only photos for the time being. The app lets you take or upload an iPad picture and subsequently add voice annotations to them using a simple recorder, with the added ability of being able to pinpoint specific parts of an image with a short animation (called ‘Trackers’).

  • The iPads are finally set up and ready to go into the classrooms! It happened to be our first graders who were the first ones to get their hands on them!
  • A few days ago, I tested and reviewed a great new app: Book Creator
  • The first time, I brought the iPads into the class, we spent time talking about the care and handle of the devices. When picking the iPad up from the teacher we reminding them to carry the iPad with two hands to their desk set them down as quietly as possible don’t hold the iPad from the SmartCover don’t walk around the classroom with an iPad in your hand no pulling, showing or tugging on someone else’s iPad
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • It was important to also introduce “iPad” vocabulary to our first graders, so we would all be able to use a common language when instructing or asking questions. We introduced this first time the following lingo: Home button screen swiping sliding tap apps icons pinch in/ pinch out front camera back camera

Education Week Teacher: Redefining Instruction With Technology: Five Essential Steps - 1 views

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 08 May 12 - No Cached
  • First, I had to learn a hard lesson: Just bringing new technology in your classroom and working it into day-to-day routines isn’t enough. The iPads arrived two days before my students, and I quickly made plans to integrate them into our curriculum. Despite my high hopes, the next two months were less than successful. A casual observer would have witnessed a sea of students glued to glistening tablets, but the effects were superficial. The iPads were not helping my students make substantial progress toward self-efficacy, academic achievement, or social-emotional growth. Around the end of September, I took a step back—it was time to evaluate and reflect on what was happening. I asked myself: "What have we been doing so far with this technology?" Students used math apps instead of math card games. They’d made slideshow presentations for isolated units. They’d done some research on the Internet. In short, things were going ... OK. Nothing to write home about. Not what I would consider "worthy" of a $20,000 grant. Clearly it was time for a change. The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I’d always done. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practice.

       There are so many apps available, it can be overwhelming to find the right ones. Here is a list of 15 free apps which I have found useful. I am using all of them on my iPad but many are also available for other mobile devices.  1. Flipboard      This has become my favorite app and I use it more than anything else. It turns all of your social streams from sites like Facebook and Twitter into a virtual magazine. You can also add any other sites that you love to read to read on the go. The layout of this app is just beautiful.

  • Once completed, the book was sent to iBooks, ready to be synced with our classroom set of iPads and for the rest of their teachers and classmates to read. Both children were very excited and proud of their work. I was also able to see how many words in English they had already learned as they were describing the images to me and “helped” with the translation
  • Book Creator  is an app that “finally” allows to anyone to create a book by staying completely within the iPad environment. It is an app that takes the concept of transformative teaching and learning to heart. I can envision many more uses for teachers and students.

  • So, how do you create a collaborative CLASSROOM eBook? If you only have one iPad available, it is not such a big problem.  Each student waits for a turn to add their page(s) (or double page) to the book as the iPad gets passed around. What if you have a class set of iPads and you want all your students working on their pages at the same time? Here is our Step-by-Step procedure (we are using the BookCreator app).

       Evernote has a new free app on the App Store which makes use of the Smart Cover to help with learning.  With Evernote Peek,  can fold back the cover to reveal questions and then even further to reveal the answers.       This is great for students who wish to create flashcards to help practice information. To create new practice materials, they simply need to create a new note and add the questions to the title and the answers to the body text.
