Stacey Buckalew • Instructional Technology Coach, K-8 • Title IID Funds • Math Camp
Stormi Johnson • Title 1 school • 3rd grade teacher • Team Leader • Inclusion class- 22 students
Setting up the iPads • Create an ITunes account • Each iPad must be added to account. This in itself is a small chore, especially when it is time to update. There are carts that can make this job easier. • Find apps • Update apps • Decide on storage • Check signal strength (IMPORTANT!!!)
Management of iPads • Assign each student an iPad they will use everyday • Teach students how to respect the equipment (cleaning it, holding and carrying it) • Introduce app one at a time and allow time for practice • Set up generic student e-mails • Set up numbered backgrounds, individual for each student using https://www.dropbox.com/s/85kownxevk9ss4p • Decide on procedures to get Ipads in and out everyday
Don’t spend too much time hunting for content apps that fit what you always have done. Instead, think of new ways of teaching while utilizing the Ipads.
Paula Heiney • Title I School • 5thgrade teacher- Reading • Departmentalized Team • 125 students
The Reality • 30 Ipads • 125 students • 6 reading classes • 1 math intervention class
This was my first indication that having Ipads in my classroom may not be all that I had imagined.
Management Issues: Ipads • Do I have wireless? 2. How do I secure the Ipads? 3. How do I get them out and put them back? 4. How do I get apps? 5. How do I keep them powered up? 6. How do I make sure nothing BAD is done with them?
Student Management • Student number on iPad • Schedule time to teach procedures • Schedule time to play • Regular use • Small steps • Expect the unexpected
Think What can I do with the devices that would be impossible without them?
Set Goals! Think about……. -Increasing differentiation- efficient assessment- Increasing student access to teachers Plan your classroom pedagogy and instruction around the goals.
Allow for student creation! • Instead of worksheets being replaces by games, have students create their own math videos, post to blogs, or create challenge based projects. • Students can create and deliver presentations. (Keynote)
Animal Features Lesson Science and Writing focus • Differentiated • Allowed the ability to work with ALL levels of students in the classroom.
Planning Lessons • Let students get used to new technology before you move into higher level thinking • Plan for objectives not just using technology • TEST, TEST, TEST • Make fast examples of students misusing iPads
Planning • Decide first on learning objective • Think of the higher and the lower level learners • What new output is possible?
Kipling Assignment • Set up author sites in folders • Use PBworks and setup one time • Us Notebook one page for each class/student
Advantages of Using Ipads in the Classroom • Notes, worksheets, tests, reports can be delivered electronically (Drop Box)**Have a paper notebook ready along with the Ipad, just in case • Motivating • Excellent for differentiation • Digital field trips • Instant assessment feedback (Hinge) • Can be used as a remote device for your Interactive Whiteboard
Disadvantages for using IPads • No flash player • Time consuming- usage and planning • Time on task • Teacher Envy • Technical issues
Great Math Apps • Google Everything (Apps, Translate, Earth, Maps) • Crayon Physics • Math Board • Partial Products • Everyday Math Games • Math Drill Lite • Rocket Math
Awesome Reading Apps • Story Kit (create stories) • StoryRobe (another digital storytelling app)
Productivity apps. • eClicker (teacher buys host...students download app) • Flexbooks (free textbooks for many subjects) • Labelbox (This is an app that lets you put lablels on photos. I can see students or teachers taking photos on a geometry hunt, nature walk, etc... and then using this app to correctly label parts in the pic) • Dropbox • Evernote • Noterize
