L’iPad en maternelle : expérimentation pédagogique à Paris Véronique Favre, professeur à l’école Maternelle Richomme (Paris) a présenté en février 2012 lors d’un colloque académique, un bilan d’étape d’une expérimentation d’utilisation d’iPad en classe de petite section. Elle montre les avantages et les inconvénients de l’outil sous l’angle pédagogique et de l’apprendre. Véronique Favre met en avant l’usage possible des tablettes à différents moments de la journée scolaire et dans tous les domaines du programme.

iPad à l'école: quels usages, quels impacts? Home Bienvenue sur le site des projets de recherche axés sur les technologies tactiles. Vous trouverez sur ce site trois projets réalisés actuellement par le Chaire de recherche du Canada sur les TIC et l’éducation. Ces projets visent une analyse détaillée des usages et des effets de l’utilisation des tablettes tactiles, des TBI et de l’usage combiné de ces deux outils en contexte éducatif. Cette recherche prend ses fondements dans un contexte sociétal de plus en plus numérique et mobile, mais aussi dans la volonté des chercheurs d’apporter un éclairage scientifique à ces thématiques encore trop peu explorées. En effet, les technologies tactiles sont devenues, en un temps relativement court, une partie intégrante de notre paysage numérique et éducatif. Ces outils sont souvent présentés par les écoles, par la presse, mais aussi par la littérature comme des outils possédant de multiples plus values pédagogiques et dont l'impact en contexte éducatif s'avèrerait non négligeable.
Jean Debaecker (@jeandebaecker) sur Twitter 25 Ways To Use Tablets In The Classroom When I was a kid, I dreamt about our school desks as computer screens. How cool would it have been to be able to draw, write, and learn directly onto my own computer? As the years went on, people theorized that laptops would take over the classroom, but the price of these devices was too high for a 1 to 1 ratio. It never quite caught on in lower grade schools.

In a subject like art, people might think, “How could a tablet be useful? It is, but what about an app that helps with color matching and combination, or tools for interior design where the child can map out their project in concept before getting to work? When they are done, they can share in galleries with other students for critique and encouragement. 2. App developers have continually surprised the public with the complexity of tools they are able to create for tablets. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The Early Results Of An iPad Classroom Are In. The following is from the November issue of the Edudemic Magazine for iPad. Click here to view the app in iTunes. My daily PLN reading seems to be full of stories about how to use iPads in the classroom. While this is certainly important information, I believe our Twitter feeds could use a few more stories about the positive impact the introduction of iPads are having in schools. Our school has been working with iPads for three years now and I can easily say that these have been the most exciting years of my educational career. While the decision to share these positive results is a direct result of the positive impact on student learning, it is also important to realize the impact this initiative is having with teachers. I’ve never observed anything else that has had the impact on teacher personal learning like the introduction of the iPad. A Change In Teaching Style I see teachers learning more each day about what it means to become a facilitator of student learning. Direct Impact

AirServer – 30 Apple TVs for the price of One (and instant sharing and engagement in the Classroom) This is not a Plug. I actually happily used AirServer’s competitor, Reflector, before I discovered AirServer, and it has some features AirServer lacks ( namely the ability to record the iPad screen in action on your computer). I also am a happy owner of an AppleTV at home. What is your tech of choice for getting groups of children interacting with technology? Last year, I discovered a better AND cheaper alternative. AirServer is basically a MAC/PC app that turns your computer into a mirroring device for iPads, iPhones and iPods ( depending on the version you have) as well as Mac Laptops running Mountain Lion . Compared to Apple TV, or a iWB with software included,AirServer + iPad has several advantages. First the price. Portability and ease of connectivity. Multi-view. Multiple iOS devices on the one screen I could list many more possible uses but I’ll let you brainstorm for yourself. It’s easy to set up, a couple of swipes and clicks to activate and cheap compared to the alternatives.
1000 iPads dans les classes d'Angers : retour d'expérience après 4 mois Les écoles de la ville d’Angers se sont vu dotées d’un millier d’iPad pour enrichir leur pratiques pédagogiques. Qu’en est-il quatre mois après de la prise en main de ces tablettes en classe, et des usages qui ont pu en naître ? Un grand merci à Jean-Michel Robineau, Directeur de l’école Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde à Angers pour sa disponibilité et son retour d’expérience dans le cadre de son école. Privées ou publiques, pas de différence : toutes les écoles de la ville d’Angers ont reçu une quinzaine d’iPad il y a quatre mois, et si le déploiement n’a pas forcément été accompagné de ressources pédagogiques spécifiques facilitant la prise en main rapide des tablettes avec les élèves, force est de constater que des initiatives terrain confirment la pertinence de l’usage des tablettes dans l’enseignement, même si des difficultés persistent. Les tablettes sont une étape supplémentaire dans l’adaptation de Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde au numérique. Rated: 4+ Price: Free Télécharger
