K-12 iPad Deployment Checklist « School has started for most of us around the country. Alarm clocks are set, bleary-eyed kids stumble their way to class, and iPads are being handed out. Just a typical day here at Eanes and many districts across the country. As the amount of 1:1 schools and districts continue to grow with many different devices, but specifically the Apple iPad, I thought it might be good to reflect and share the laundry list of items we’ve prepared in getting ready for our roll-outs.

How To Make Students Better Online Researchers I recently came across an article in Wired Magazine called “ Why Kids Can’t Search “. I’m always interested in this particular topic, because it’s something I struggle with in my middle and high school classes constantly, and I know I’m not alone in my frustrations. Getting kids to really focus on what exactly they are searching for, and then be able to further distill idea into a few key specific search terms is a skill that we must teach students, and we have to do it over and over again. We never question the vital importance of teaching literacy, but we have to be mindful that there are many kinds of “literacies”.

Four Reasons Why School Tablet Rollouts Can Stumble - Or Fail Nothing's perfect. In creating my map of the 120+ back-to-school iPad and tablet deployments this fall, I learned a few things about what can cause trouble for schools and students. These are good lessons for businesses and other types of organizations thinking about going mobile. (Check out my list of the 100 Largest iPad Rollouts, which with my recent research has become very school-heavy). 1) Deploying iPads - and then doing nothing else. "They talked about cutting edge, digital natives, blah, blah, blah. "Anyway, no text books, no apps, no home work, no digital assignments happened on the iPad all year," he continued. There are multiple sins here: an old-fashioned mindset, a lack of integration into the curriculum and evidently no training for the teachers.
