So far i have found the Ipad to be a valuable piece of technology within lessons and the pupils who have been asked to use it have found it extremely helpful. In the first instance, as a teaching aid it has been great as it has allowed me to access registers quickly and use the internet as a quick search tool leaving my classroom computer free for pupils to use if required. Useful Functions for the pupils: The camera function has been used constantly as it takes good quality imagery and pupils can email it directly to their school email without having to find leads and memory card devices – it’s much quicker than using a camera and the pupils don’t have to wait for myself to place the images on the shared area to access them. The safari browser has allowed quick access to the internet for individual pupils conducting research tasks when a computer has not been available – and by using the copy tool they have emailed themselves the information to work from.

Essa Academy. iPad in Education: Wyndham Primary Academy. iPads for Teachers Trial - St Ivo School Report. Posted on July 8, 2013 by geoblogbytes Yet again, quite a giant leap of time since my last post on our iPads for teachers trial back in February, when I first started thinking about the evaluation process. My intention of blogging about our experiences during the trial itself hasn’t happened due to issues of time, so instead I decided to put my efforts into writing up a detailed overview evaluation and report which is now finished.

I will be picking some areas to explore in more detail and blog about hopefully over the forthcoming weeks. We benefitted greatly from drawing upon the experiences of other schools and so in return wanted to share our experiences with others. The finished report can be downloaded here – Finished iPads for Teachers Evaluation Report . Like this: Like Loading... Filed under: Uncategorized.
