Questions
Why 1:1 iPads?
The World has Changed.
The World is Changing...FAST!
‘In many countries across the world we will move to
1:1 (one computer per child) learning environments
within the next 5-10 years...’ (Oxford School
Improvement 2013)
Why 1:1 iPads?
- ‘Technological change’ is here and
won’t go away …
- Mobile, connected technology is already
in the hands of our pupils …
- And parents…
Changing Technology
Why 1:1 iPads? How will it help my child learn?
How People Learn is Changing...
Technology allows ANYTIME. ANYWHERE LEARNING...
- We know technology opens up a world of opportunities.
- Allows pupils to go at their own pace.
- Allows pupils to share their learning and understanding in
many different ways.
- Allows pupils to share their learning with more than just
their teacher - incentive to produce work to a high standard.
- Engaging tool that can be used to support learning in many
different subject areas.
- Pupils enjoy learning through technology so are more
motivated and find it easier to concentrate.
•It is about changing the child’s learning environment and
giving them a new tool in their learning toolbox.
Why 1:1 iPads? How will it help my child learn?
1:1 is about learning, not technology
iPads will allow teachers to create learning and teaching
opportunities that develop the knowledge, skills and
behaviours that pupils require in order to live, learn and work
in the 21st century.
What are the most important skills our pupils must have in the
21st century?
Creative thinking
Technology literate
Independent researchers
Teamwork
Communication
Self reliance
Problem solving
Why 1:1 iPads?
The iPad offers our pupils the opportunity to be both
independent and to work collaboratively, it gives them all
the knowledge they need, and the ability to present /
explain their work in many different ways and to a
bigger, world-wide audience.
And the research shows...
The iPad is relatively new to education but there is no doubt
about the benefits it brings...
Research has shown that pupils who have access to their own
iPad are...
- More engaged with the curriculum.
- Enthused about the work they do.
- Want to explore topics in their own, individual way.
- Have greater opportunities for collaboration.
- Have greater independence.
- Have improved critical thinking.
- Have greater access to information, resources and
experts.
Our Goals - What do we want to see?
- Pupils demonstrating what they know in many different ways.
- Pupils taking control in how they learn and what they do to
show that they have learned.
- Pupils being creative to help them learn.
- Pupils having access to the world’s information.
- Pupils being able to access the types of resources that will help
them learn in the best way possible.
- Pupils wanting to learn wherever they are - in school and at
home - and involving their family in that learning.
- Pupils having digital video recorders, calculators, atlases,
newspapers, thesauruses, dictionaries, books, compasses
cameras, audio recorders, note pads all in one place.

Other Considerations...
Taking care of the iPad
We recommend…
- Food and drink should be kept away from the iPad, as it may
cause damage to the device.
- A clean, soft cloth should be used to clean the screen, no
cleansers of any type.
- Cords and cables should be inserted carefully into the iPad to
prevent damage.
- iPads should never be left in an unattended or unsupervised area.
- The iPad should not be disassembled or attempted to be
repaired.
- The iPad should be kept in the protective case.
- iPad batteries must be charged and ready for school each day.
