So, how's it going so far?
- students have evolved - the learning environment has changed - they often suggest "We could use the iPads to find out!" or "We could use the iPads to do that!" and they don't ask about 'Angry Birds' so often :)
- started a class sign-up and room rotations
- Gr. 3-4 students are being trained to teach other students in other classes
- there is a great 'buzz' around the school about them
- 8 iPads is just the start
Next Steps
Goals
- staff training sessions have been offered
- this website will be used to provide information and as a resource
- set up schedule / sign out system
- approached School Council in October and asked for more funds - approved!
- making a 2nd School Council presentation Nov. 8th to demonstrate the iPads / show this site / discuss future spending on iPads and peripherals
Goals
- to get all staff trained
- 10 iPads per classroom
- search out the best apps
- connect to other schools using iPads, e.g iPad pals
- to use the iPads to make community connections, global connections
- use the iPads to 'make a difference'
