Edmodo. iPad Basic Training for Teachers. The Background In the Spring of 2013, my school district committed to issuing an iPad to every classroom teacher. The purposes for this initiative were to give teachers an additional tool for teaching and learning and to familiarize teachers with mobile devices in anticipation of more iPads being purchased for classroom use and a grades 6-12 BYOD program coming in the next school year. This type of initiative is exactly what my supervisor Kim (AKA @DigitalLearners) and I had been waiting/hoping for. This is why we had been reading everything we could via Twitter and blogs and attending every session we could at professional events about mobile learning and iPads for the past three years.
And yet, when the prospect finally became a reality, it was a little overwhelming. Thankfully, we had had a couple of trial runs in the fall. We were about to distribute iPads to 800 teachers.
