Are We Really Evaluating the Use of iPads in Our Classroom
One of the things we need to be doing as educators is to critically evaluate the resources and learning experiences that we provide for our students. This is even more important when we are spending vast sums of public money to implement new or innovative hardware devices into our schools.
How Much Did Steve Jobs Change the World? You might be reading this on your iPhone, iPad or computer, but whether or not you have a Macintosh or a PC, Steve Jobs is responsible for so much of the technology we are using today. Did you know that Windows computers copied the drop-down window interface from Apple computers? Yes, all true. So today, when the power went out in the school and we couldn't get on the Internet, I noticed what an important part of my life technology has become.

Look Mum – No Cables! iPad2 Mirroring In The Classroom
One of the most underrated and significant developments of iOS5 has been the ability to mirror the iPad2 onto any screen via AppleTV. This development signifies a break away from the shackles of cables and allows the iPad, iPod or iPhone to become an even more natural addition to the classroom. Yet our decision to invest in this concept started many months ago, when mirroring was still a rumor.
HOME - Edgalaxy: Where Education and Technology Meet.
Wikipedia has really cleaned up its act over the last couple of years to become a far more reputable site than it ever has been. As a teacher I now feel far more confident in letting my students use it for researching general information as long as they are aware of the model upon which Wikipedia is built and recommend verifying a fact from a second source such as a . edu site. I recently put this activity and worksheet together for my students to use in our reading hour to give them a platform for generating ideas for the writing hour. It works as follows using Wikipedia or any other great information sites you feel comfortable with. Students have to spend 15 minutes researching something on Wikipedia that personally interests them.Classroom Ideas for Learning with an iPad - iPads for Learning - Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
Here are some classroom ideas for activities using a range of apps that teachers can try with their students. The activities are grouped into broad categories to provide a starting point however many of the apps can be used across a number of learning domains. Sound effects are used extensively in music, films, advertisements etc. It can be very difficult to recognise a sound without having visual cues or knowing the context. Ask the students to play a game with a classmate, a group or the whole class by recording different sounds using Caster Free.iPads in Education
Welcome to the ‘iPad in Education’ web site - concerned with using Apple’s iPad for learning and teaching. Although this is based in the UK, the site’s content will reflect practice from other counties and contexts in order to explore and learn from a wide field. I am Ian Wilson ( www.ianwilson.biz ) a freelance Apple Education Mentor based in the north west of England (Twitter: @Ian__Wilson). I have set up this site as I believe the iPad signals the opportunity for a transformation in how technology is used in schools, colleges and universities. I am interested in looking at all age ranges, all abilities across all areas of the curriculum and keen to see if the iPad makes technology more transparent and cross-curricular as it should be.Your browser is not supported.
