10 Steps To A Successful School iPad Program 10 Steps To A Successful School iPad Program by Sam Gliksman, Author of iPad in Education for Dummies iPads have quickly become a the hottest commodity in educational technology. Apple reports that schools are purchasing iPads over MacBooks by a ratio of 2:1. However, the rush to purchase the latest technologies often precedes the careful planning and preparation that’s crucial to their success as educational tools. There’s simply no magic pill – whether it’s the laptop, smartboard, iPad or the next device that comes along in a year or two. Here’s a list of ten requirements for a successful iPad implementation in schools. 1. Don’t consider purchasing iPads without an appropriate technical infrastructure to manage and deploy them. Do you have adequate incoming Internet bandwidth? 2. Our educational institutions roll along year after year and yet it’s the question that’s rarely discussed. Any successful initiative requires that your entire organization be on the same page. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

36 Entertaining Apps That Are Actually Educational There are lots of education apps out there. Many are made specifically with one subject or topic in mind, and others can be useful in a broad range of subjects. We’ve looked at tons of different apps in a number of these categories in the past, but recently I stumbled across this list of ‘surprisingly educational apps’ and thought it was worth sharing. Some of these apps are aimed at being both fun and educational, others are geared specifically at teachers, and many just happen to have classroom applicability even though that wasn’t necessarily their design. From productivity to lesson plans to games, check out this list and maybe you’ll find a gem that was missing from your arsenal! Surprisingly Educational Apps

Beyond Minecraft: Games That Inspire Building and Exploration By Tanner Higgin, Graphite The success and popularity of Minecraft in and out of classrooms is no surprise. It’s one of the best examples of the potential of learning with games because it embraces exploration, discovery, creation, collaboration, and problem-solving while allowing teachers to shepherd play toward any subject area. But Minecraft is not the only game of this kind. 1. Garry’s Mod (GMod) is a sandbox game like Minecraft but instead of building and exploring, students use a fun physics engine that simulates things like gravity and mass. 2. Kerbal Space Program has a robust physics engine too, but it’s more focused than Garry’s Mod. 3. Sound Shapes is a visually stunning platform puzzle game set to a rich musical soundscape. For creative kids who want to get their hands dirty, check out DIY, a site where students can find things to build, instructions for how to build them, and ways to share their creations with others.

Inventive Games That Teach Kids About Empathy and Social Skills By Tanner Higgin, Graphite Play is nothing if not social. Games organize play, allowing us to wrangle and experiment with the world. Video games, however, have been a bit of an aberration in the history of play and games. 1. This app features a series of appealing animated episodes that model real world social situations. 2. Billed as an “indie minimalist platformer,” Thomas Was Alone’s characters are just colorful shapes, yet they all have distinct personalities. Thomas Was Alone 3.

Le guide de l’iPad à l’usage des enseignants… Enfin! Certaines histoires sont tellement embrumées de circonvolution qu’il en est difficile d’en remonter le fil. Telle est l’histoire du Guide de l’iPad pour les enseignant. Ce projet est né sur un coin de bureau. Comme ces recettes de cuisine que l’on inscrit au détour d’une conversation et d’une bonne bouteille. L’iPad original était entre mes mains depuis sa sortie en France. Et j’avais l’intuition que mes premières expérimentations pouvaient intéresser. Cet humble fichier pdf fut beaucoup lu. L’année 2011-2012 fut très chargée et le projet éditorial prit du retard. Cette expérience fut néanmoins riche car elle m’a conduit à presser l’éditeur mentionné plus haut : la troisième édition était prête pour arriver sur les iPads 2 et Retina. Or, il y a deux semaines, je recevais des nouvelles de mon éditeur. J’ai donc soumis mon guide à la validation des lutins de l’iBookstore. Cet ouvrage n’est pas parfait.

mLearning - The One Ipad Classroom I had the wonderful opportunity of going go to Dallas last March to attend the TESOL 2013 Convention. It was great, not only participating in workshops, plenaries, and a variety of presentations, but also meeting other English teachers and exchanging ideas and experiences with them. Before choosing the presentations I wanted to attend, I focused on the ones which involved technology in the classroom or the ones related to practical activities for EFL classes. Although we are in the 21 st century and technology is all around, teachers still face difficulties in having computers available for each student in all the classes of the course. What I would like to show here is that, if a teacher has his/her own iPad, she/he can make use of it in class and benefit students with technology. Here is a list of apps that can be used in class and my suggestions for their uses. PingPong ScoreBoard Lite ( Lin Huangchun) This app is wonderful to score points when using a game in class. Dice!
