I will access up-to-date information - you have a textbook that is 5 years old.
I will immediately know when I misspell a word – you have to wait until it’s graded.
I will learn how to care for technology by using it – you will read about it.
I will see math problems in 3D – you will do the odd problems.
I will create artwork and poetry and share it with the world – you will share yours with the
class.
I will have 24/7 access – you have the entire class period.
I will access the most dynamic information – yours will be printed and photocopied.
I will communicate with leaders and experts using email – you will wait for Friday’s speaker.
I will select my learning style – you will use the teacher’s favorite learning style.
I will collaborate with my peers from around the world – you will collaborate with peers in
your classroom.
I will take my learning as far as I want – you must wait for the rest of the class.

Go to their world
Use their language
It's their culture
Individualize their learning
Allow them to own their education
Become life long learners
Create good habits
I Want Them....... Now What?
• How many can I use?
• 1 can be used as an individual or small group work station. Students
rotate in to use it.
• 2 -10 can be used in the same way. Separate activities can take place.
• 11 or more depending on class size can be used in pairs or individually.
This allows for the most diverse use of the iPad.
• 1 to 1 iPads can allow the student to be the most independent user. The
activities could allow the students to research and choose the tool/s that
would allow them to complete the learning objectives in a way that suits
them best.

How will I hand them out to class?
Will students be assigned a specific iPad?
Who will clean them?
Will students keep them to take home?
Who will check them?
Setting Up the iPad
I believe in an open environment (network). Of course this
is greatly determined by age, but we should teach them
smart responsible learning habits as quickly as possible.
If given reason enough not to risk losing the technology,
proper behavior will prevail.
If you have a choice I believe the iPad should be open
enough for students to be able to install and delete apps.
They should be able to enter their email address as well.
This will allow them to discover apps that are best suited
to their needs.
With that said...................
