Teaching and Learning: Using iPads in the Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Most students today would be classified as bodily-kinesthetic learners. The motion sensor allows students to use their hands in guiding the iPad to equilibrium, balance skills, or remote control of real or virtual robotics, hovercraft, or other vehicles.
  • As a completely portable learning tool, the iPad camera allows documentation to be taken to a whole different level. An app called Field Notes LT (3) not only allows students to take copious notes of their observations, it attaches the date, time, GPS location and photographs of what is observed. These notes can be instantly shared, collaborated, and published in the field.
  • While walking around the classroom and interacting with students, teachers can control their computers from their iPad with the Remote Mouse app. With a simple cable, teachers can use their iPads to present their unique and creative Prezi (11) presentation made on their computer by using the iPad application called Prezi Player. The teacher can control the document by simply pinching, twisting and sliding their fingers across the face of the iPad.

  • Drop box allows students set up a personal account in which they can store iPad created documents, photos, fieldnotes, etc. And they can access those documents from any other computer or Internet capable device. Evernote (8) will help students keep track of their notes and Mendeley (9) will organize their research documents and let them take their research done on their computers with them, wherever they are going.

    Teachers are finding that iPads are becoming more useful in their classrooms, not only for their own teaching purposes but also for their students' learning purposes as well.
