"Hi, Thanks for responding. We will begin the process next week of deploying the Ipads. It is a small pilot project to begin so hopefully we can work out all the logistics as we go. I will keep you posted. "

"Hi Dave, Thank you for the welcome and the friend add. That news piece is very disappointing. I know from my PLN that is hasn't been very well received but we'll win hearts and minds with the proof being in the pudding. Here's to the…"

"HI Dave, several of us just got iPads this year. The younger teachers and the math teachers have found uses in the classrooms but the rest of us are still struggling. Our tech director found how we can use them to simulate a white…"

"Thanks Dave. I just became an administrator at the middle school level. The administrators and teachers will be using iPads this year. I believe I will be heavily involved in the implementation and trainings. I will let you know what happens as well…"

"Dave, Actually the teachers do not currently have iPads; however, I am hoping that the district will move in this direction. "

Dave Brown commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post You Want iPads For Your School ... But Is That Enough?

"Thank you for the response, Sam. I want to comment on your point on arithmetic. If I were to make a list of the greatest uses for the iPad in education, flash cards for math probably wouldn't make the top 50. But I also don't think we need…"

Welcome! Tell us a little about yourself by providing a brief informative profile. Please note that members may not use the network to advertise their products or services.: I am president of Interactive Elementary, a company specializing in building educational applications for the iPad. I am also an elementary school teacher. I believe tablet technology will play a very important role in education reform over the next decade. I am very excited to be a part of this at the ground level.

Middle School Math and My Editing Buddy

Currently we have two products, Middle School Math and My Editing Buddy, available on the App Store. I am very interested to connect with fellow educators to learn how these products can evolve.

I will go have a look at the store. I appreciate you being in touch. I teach middle at a K-12 independent school. WE were the first in KY to start a 1:1 laptop program in HS, and continue to consider 1:1 in MS.

Doing an iPad pilot of sorts now-- really just inviting kids to bring in their devices, communicating with parents in a monthly newsletter. Started with seven kids who got them from Santa last year, and by Spring 40 kids were bringing them to school. I think it will be a good way to go, and this iPads in Ed site has been a terrific help.

We have been working towards a 1:1 program for a few years, beefing up our network infrastructure to cope. Malaysia network speeds are not too solid.
