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.
