In this session I aim to talk about how iPads can be used to effectively enhance teaching and learning in any classroom.In order to do this, it is really important that we consider why it is that we are using this tool in our classrooms and what it is that we expect it to do to help our students to learn.

Learning and Teaching with iPads: Developing iPad learning workflows for best learning outcomes

http://learningwithipads.blogspot.com/2012/08/developing-ipad-learning-workflows-for.html Rethinking the approach to learning with an iPad was one of the key points that arose from our recent iPad study tour in Queensland. Many of the schools talked about the development of 'Learning Workflows' where work is created in one app, then built on in another App and so on. Using the iPad where many Apps are generally single function, requires a different approach to create useful learning outcomes that moves the integration of the iPad in learning from the Subsitution model to the Redefinition model. A very useful explanation with some practical examples of how to achieve a learning workflow in your classroom can be found in the following video by ELearning Laura based on work done at the Apple Teacher Institute 2012 in Cheltenham .

iPad Implementation Questionsw

http://www.mguhlin.org/2012/06/responding-to-20-ipad-implementation.html Updated 06/23/2012 A Texas colleague recently shared the following list of questions relevant to iPad implementation...rather than respond to them in a "closed" environment, i thought I'd post them here and invite folks to pitch in and help sharing their approaches. I like going through questions like this because it helps unearth questions that my team and I haven't considered, as well as revisit questions and responses we have. Here's the original prompt: Our district has purchased a number of iPads over the past year. It started as admin devices and then some teacher devices were added and now some have purchased iPads with the intention that students will share them.

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, a freelance Apple Professional Development Authorised Trainer 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. Of course at this stage, we don’t know the true extent of the impact of the iPad on teaching and learning as it is too early to say.

Ipadschools - iPad Scavenger Hunt

iPad Scavenger Hunt As a first day exercise, I decided to have my students do a modified scavenger hunt on the ipad to get familiar with their particular ipad and with ipad use in general. Below is the worksheet I projected on the smartboard and asked that students work together to complete the assignment.
If I had thirty iPads in my class, what would I do with them? How would I use them to help my students learn better and help me teach better? Perhaps a better question is what would I do with them that I could not do with other tools that are available and cheaper? Certainly iPads are cheaper than computers, desktop or laptop, and they are more mobile. Speaking of computers, they were supposed to be the transformation of teaching and learning as we know it.
