Benefits of iPads

What can iPads do? What can’t they do?

How can I take my successful classroom strategies or what works for me integrate iPads?

How can iPads value add to what I currently do in my classroom?

Where do I start?

Take a topic/theme that you teach eg Identity, Sustainability, Energy.

Create a list of strategies or activities you use

Identify those that could be enhanced with the use of iPads

Identify new strategies or activities that iPads enable

Rethink the way you teach

Effective strategies

Implementation Strategy

Cecilie MurrayJohn Sloan

Delphian eLearning

Discuss:What are the stages and

processes when implementing a new initiative?

What do we know?

Share:What have you found out about implementing initiatives?

What do we know?

Feedback from discussionIssues to be taken into account:◦ Model of ownership◦ Device – shared◦ Infrastructure◦ PD◦ Apps & quality &finding◦ Assessment◦ Policy documents – user agreements, ◦ Data management◦ ICT helpdesk◦ Costs of apps – vouchers & management◦ Parent involvement – communications strategy◦ Measuring value – evaluation

Four phases:

◦ PLANNING – research, vision, consult, assess readiness, project plan, budget

◦ PREPARATION – assess teacher skills, professional learning, spaces, suppliers, applications, costs, policies

◦ IMPLEMENTATION – support services, distribute, use in classrooms

◦ EVALUATION – device use (action research), support services, policies and management

iPads for Learning

Mobile Educators Network

Teaching and Learning◦ Teachers are confident to use ICT to plan, deliver and

assess curriculum online Leadership

◦ Principal and leadership team are confident to implement Staff Capability

◦ Teachers are confident and capable ICT users Infrastructure

◦ School infrastructure and technical support is robust Data/Content

◦ Data and content is ready to upload Community

◦ The school is preparing its community

How ready are you?

Document how the plan works at your school

Assess readiness against each step

Where would you review:◦ ICT infrastructure (servers, wireless, network, etc)◦ eLearning Plan◦ Technicians◦ Teacher ICT skills◦ Student ICT skills

Implementation Plan

Raised from discussion: NSSCF – blend of devices & how to manage –

◦ Apple & Microsoft knowledge bases. TSSPs network. Networks – Xirrus wireless points are robust Cost – saving money – cheap vouchers Updates & how to manage Licensing of apps – Casper to push out apps to people, remote monitoring

& tracking Some PDFs can convert to eBooks Maintenance & Insurance Charging iTunes accounts & set up – buy a free app, set up another account and

buy from a gift card or voucher. Parents hold the iTunes account & emphasise no credit card a/c.

Synching ipads and apps – labour intensive for shared devices Parent persuasive ideas iPads, windows and managing the dual platform
