  • would like to use iPads meaningfully in their classrooms, they can’t because of time, access, and training
  • very few of her school’s teachers were using iPads in the classroom beyond the usual Friday afternoon fun time and as a reward for being “good.”

      This is the current use of our limited number of iPads.

  • Working with mentor teachers, we found that they had an assumption that young student teachers would naturally know the latest and greatest. The truth is that some do but many don’t, so training is essential!
  • They became models for the classroom teachers
  • All classes in our research site were inclusive with a diverse community of learners at every grade level including students with IEPs, 504 plans, autism spectrum disorders, and English language learners.
  • made the mistake of assuming the kids would immediately know how to use the technology in an appropriate way.
  • Success was more attributable to the fact that teachers who integrated iPads into their lessons tended to do more Project Based Learning (PBL), which has been found to improve student learning across grade levels (Cheu-Jay, 2015)
    • Emily Wood
       
      This fits one of my change visions from my destination postcard: more PBL!
  • the hard-to-reach, reluctant, oppositional Edwards all became engaged when introduced to opportunities that the iPad gave them.
  • students enjoy learning and stay more focused when using iPads
  • with a little hands-on support, created technology-rich lessons with a minimum of training or professional development. The bottom line was that when we mixed training with support we created a successful and innovative learning experience for teachers and their students.

  •  
    For those of you who use or are looking to use iPads in your school, Mr. Gliksman is a wonderful resource. As I stepped into the role of Technology Coach at my current job, this site has been a great resource for me as we work through our 1-to-1 iPad program with 5th through 8th graders. We also have class sets in the elementary school rooms as well. Below, please find the link to his web page (iPads in Education). From there you can follow him on Twitter.

Top 10 Things NOT to do in a 1:1 iPad Initiative - 0 views

  •  
    Part of the benefit of jumping forward with a 1:1 iPad deployment like we have tried is that we get the opportunity to impart knowledge to other districts looking to do a similar initiative. While that might not seem like a benefit, it actually also means we can make some mistakes because there is not a long history of this type of deployment in the world.
