Researching iPad use in the Classroom.

I thought some teachers here might be interested in having a look at the research in progress on the second iPad Pilot at Trinity College, Melbourne.

You may not be able to download the file unless you are a member of Academia.edu but you can choose the Quick…See More

"I am running similar PD for teachers in Finland. In addition to technology, language can be a challenge as apps etc. are in English. We use both iPod touches and iPads. I usually start with iPods and progress to iPads. We don't have a…"

"That is what I was thinking of doing. I'm creating a program with four courses and students will need to have mobile devices to complete assignments and to learn to network and use them as research tools and professionals. I believe the…"

Jennifer Mitchell commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post Teaching Teachers iPad Ed Tech. Some reflections on an ongoing process.

"I think you might be quite wise in your consideration that some students will have different devices - online learning attracts a broad range of people with diverse resources and tools. Is your proposed course about using mobile devices in…"

Mary Pat Lichtman commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post Teaching Teachers iPad Ed Tech. Some reflections on an ongoing process.

"That is helpful. I'm debating whether to require iPads or say mobile device with certain specifications attached. Do you have any recommendations about this? Some students may have other devices using Windows or related to other…"

Jennifer Mitchell commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post Teaching Teachers iPad Ed Tech. Some reflections on an ongoing process.

"Hi Mary, having been an online learner, I found clear instructions and visual imagery as guidelines very useful. Students already familiar with mobile devices will pick up the mechanics of use quickly, but those unfamiliar really value one on one…"

"I'm creating courses for online delivery and wondered if you have any suggestions on how to train students on using iPads or other mobile devices in that environment?"

Jennifer Mitchell replied to Matt Baier's discussion Teacher training ideas?/how to integrate more tech into curriculum?

"Hi Matt, I'm in your position too, though I was familiar with iPads before being in the position of training and encouraging other teachers. One thing I've been encouraging to increase familiarity is to show teachers ways they can use…"

Jennifer Mitchell replied to Sam Gliksman's discussion iPads are Consumption Devices. Really?

"We are aiming to do a lot of productive and self-expressive projects with our students in our next 1:1 trial at Trinity College from August, and the full student population from 2012. Some of the productive activities already underway with students…"

Jeremy Dorn commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post 1:1 iPad Curriculum gets go ahead. What should Professional Development look like?

Jennifer Mitchell commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post 1:1 iPad Curriculum gets go ahead. What should Professional Development look like?

"Thanks for the suggestions Jeremy. I've had a look today at iFiles, and tried to connect two iPads running the app through Bluetooth and failed. It must be one of those things which need careful settings to be established. But it has definite…"

Jeremy Dorn commented on Jennifer Mitchell's blog post 1:1 iPad Curriculum gets go ahead. What should Professional Development look like?

"I would add to the Cloud services section ways for students to pass project material back and forth on a local network. Or perhaps that can go in your last topic. The iFile App would be a good example, and plays much the same role as GoodReader for…"

In the interim, I am responsible for conducting staff professional development in the… Continue
