Ok, this is a good one. My school is already setup with a printer in every classroom. They are not AirPrint ready but they are networked or connected to a computer on the…

iPad Rollout Strategy

We are piloting iPads, but I can already see some dilemmas.  Training is challenging.  Unlike PC/Mac applications, there are no standard menus or behaviors - each app has a different interface.  The relative newness of apps means that the set of apps will change over time - new apps will be introduced, some apps will disappear, and others will overcome their major limitations. The fluid nature of apps worries me given that teachers are not always the most adept at managing change.…

Using an iPad as a Graphics Tablet

This title is really the case study for a wider topic on Remote Apps.

For me this is one of the most exciting (tech) influences on mobile learning ... the interconnectivity between devices.

I have two folders on my iPad [Remote1 and Remote2] which are full of Apps that enable connectivity between the iPad and other devices ... and that connectivity can be both ways.

Yale Open Courses and my iPad

I have been an iPad user for the past year now and I have been looking for a way to make it more than just a toy.  My kids watch their cartoons on it, my husband watches YouTube videos on it and I mostly surf and check my emails, but I really couldn’t justify spending $600+ on this “toy”.

 

My prayers were answered and I found an incredible site recently - Yale Open Course (http://oyc.yale.edu/).  This is one truly amazing site.  Yale…

Making the device your own

Our school has recently made the leap to provide not only iPads as an available technology to classes, like the laptop carts and desktops in labs, we have also committed to giving out iPads to students as they arrive in the 9th grade year.....

As I am digging for content and apps that fully utilize the adoption of the new technology, I can't help but think of the 'geeks' that will blaze new trails in the use of the device.  Why the geeks?  Geeks are celebrated for not only learning…

Welcome to iPads in Education

I'm the Director of Educational Technology at a high school in Los Angeles. After finally receiving and reviewing the iPad we've decided to pilot the use of iPads in our school next year. Given the differences between iPads and laptops, I thought it might be helpful to share our experiences - both good and bad - and hopefully to hear from others that are also using iPads in schools and classrooms.… Continue
