Apple TV in the Classroom | iPad Adoption. Apple TV in the Classroom « PeorBust. For the last 6 months I have been trialling the use of an iPad in school. I have tried as much as possible to do everything on the iPad from producing presentations, editing and uploading movies, emailing and browsing, video analysis, score keeping and even my registers. But the biggest change to my teaching was the introduction of an ATV unit into my classroom. This little black box took no time to install and hooked into the school network easily. Virtually straight away I was mirroring my iPad screen through the projector onto the white board and with no cables in sight! I could now teach from anywhere in the class, I was no longer stuck at the front. This mobility allowed me to get amongst the students. They could take a much more active role in the lesson without having to leave their seat and throughout the entire lesson I felt much more in control.

The iPad Part 1 – some thoughts appertaining to its use in education. The Apple iPad 2. I finally got my hands on one about a month ago and since then I’ve been playing, adding and removing apps, trialling them in the classroom environment and generally trying to see if and how I can use it effectively and not just as a replacement for my school PC for administration and showing Powerpoints. The priority for me was to think about how I might save time doing things such as making regular notes, assessment points or learning/ disciplinary incidents. To be able to jot a thought about Student X for his/her annual report/monthly chat would be useful as would the ability to quickly look up previous notes and grades or school policies about how to do things.
I currently use my tablet for this and OneNote with jottings and audio as well as video clips on the Flip camera or tablet webcam showing students achieving or otherwise in their learning. I’m also keenly aware of the way such technology needs to be used to ENHANCE learning. Onwards to the iPad. Other points: iPads n Apps / Make Your Own iPad Activites using pdf-Notes for iPad.
