Exploring the use of iPads and mobile devices in education.

How did you begin integrating iPads in your elementary classroom?

I recently was awarded a grant for 6 iPads. I am integrating them in a center format. At this point we are using them for research, apps to reinforce/practice concepts, etc. My goal is to integrate them as a powerful tool for ELA integration.

Please post how you started...

What worked...

Pitfalls to avoid...

Valuable resources, apps, professional documents to reference, etc. Anything would be WONDERFUL...

Anything from your wise vault of tech knowledge would get my creativity flowing so we can use them as a meaningful tool to stretch towards those 21st century goals!

Thanks so much for your time : )

Amy, we have been reflecting on our process since the grant proposal two years ago that got us our first set in Kindergarten. If you go back through our blog, you will see many of the details you are asking about.
