Early childhood education teachers' iPad-supported practices in young children's learni... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper reports on a qualitative study exploring ways teachers can adopt iPads to provide opportunities for young children's learning and exploration in an early childhood education and care setting in Hamilton. Interviews with teachers, children and their caregivers as well as observations of teacher interactions with children and copies of children work produced on the iPad informed the study. The findings focused on two teachers' practice to reveal the different ways teachers can make use of the iPad to expand children's learning opportunities and foster closer home-centre links. In particular, four key iPad-supported practices were observed - use of the iPad as a relational tool, as a communicative tool, as a documentation tool, and finally, as an informational tool for supporting child-led learning.

iPad in Education: A Case Study of iPad adoption and use in a primary school - 0 views

  •  
    This paper presents a case study of the iPad's adoption in a primary school, one of the first in the world to adopt it. From interviews with teachers and IT staff, we conclude that the iPad's main strengths are the way in which it provides quick and easy access to information for students and the support it provides for collaboration. However, staff need to carefully manage both the teaching and the administrative environment in which the iPad is used, and we provide some lessons learned that can help other schools considering adopting the iPad in the classroom.

What Students Think About Using iPads in School | MindShift - 0 views

  •  
    All 870 students at Hillview Middle School in Menlo Park, Calif. will soon have school-issued iPads that they can use both at school and at home. The school has slowly rolled out the program over the past three years, trying to work out the kinks before issuing the expensive devices to every student. Before students can take the devices home, they'll have to take a course to get their "digital driver license," which includes digital citizenship and learning their way around the device.

Multi-Touch Books | Tip of the Iceberg - 0 views

  •  
    In creating books using the iPad, I have found Book Creator to be by far the simplest and most effective app available. Those who haven't yet created a Multi-Touch Book will make their first book with Book Creator. For those who are already familiar with Book Creator, there are a couple of other apps you may wish to try out.

Tablets for Learning: Emphasis on Capturing Students' Voices - 0 views

  •  
    Touch-screen tablets for young students have become all the rage. Some districts are even buying iPads for every kindergartener, a move sparking both celebration and consternation. Do we really want to give $500 devices to kids who can't even tie their shoes?
