  • 50 resources for iPad use in the classroom By Charlie Osborne | May 3, 2012, 6:00am PDT The transition to the more extensive use of technology in classrooms across the West has resulted in the integration of bring your own device (BYOD) schemes, equipping students with netbooks and tablet computers, and lessons that use social media & online services. Gesture-based technology is on the rise; according to the latest NMC Horizon Report, gesture-based technological models will become more readily integrated as a method of learning within the next few years. The iPhone, iPad, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect technology are examples of these kinds of developments, and in particular, resources for Apple products in education are becoming widely available online. For teachers, some of which are just beginning to use tablets and mobile devices in class, these resources can be invaluable in promoting more interactive classrooms and understanding how best to use and control such products. Below is a collection of tutorials, lesson plans and applications for educators to utilize.

      Schools and teachers definitely need training!  Just telling us to start doing something new is going to backfire.  I would love to use more technology in my class, but still need a little more guidance and ideas.

  • have students engage in one or both of the following exercises:
  • Ask students: How are cellphones used, and how can they be used, in our society today?
  • Engage students in a discussion about your school’s cellphone rules. Ask: What are the rules? What is the reason or philosophy behind them? How do they see students using cellphones in school? If cellphones are banned, how would they like to use cellphones in school? How are the rules enforced?
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Finally, ask: Do you think cellphones will continue to be banned in some schools in a year from now? Five years? Ten? Why or why not?
  • Have students engage in a debate on the pros and cons of using cellphones in school. They should delve into questions of policy, cost, usefulness and innovation along with the potential for mischief, distraction and cheating.

      Another very useful Teacher tool to teach History or even Science by uploading images, later you can tag different parts of the images to link out to further explanations.
  • Applications for Education Tools like Record MP3 are great for posting short reminder messages on your blog for your students to hear. If  you're going to be out of your classroom for a day, record a message with that day's directions for student and post it on your blog. Then your substitute teacher can hear the directions and your students can too and nothing gets lost in the chain of communication.

      Mobile learning is basic in all types of 21st century education. It sometimes seems overwhelming to start trying "new techniques" but if we just focus on what we already have and find a use for it in the classroom it will most definitely lead to increased student engagement and more meaningful learning.
  • Take a look around and chances are you’ll see a mobile device. Phones, iPods, laptops, netbooks, iPads, USB drives, and handheld games seem to be everywhere.
  • Mobile learning can happen anywhere: in a classroom, at the dinning room table, on a bus, in front of a science exhibit, at the zoo…anywhere!

  • In the classroom, QR codes can be used in a variety of ways — from conducting treasure hunts to creating modern CVs. Below is a number of articles, tutorials and lesson plans designed to help educators.
  • Quick response codes, also known as ‘QR’ codes, are simple, scannable images that are a form of barcode. By scanning a QR code image through a mobile device, information can be accessed including text, links, bookmarks and email addresses.
