4. The iPad is a Learning Studio.
It’s collaborative, compact and connects students to our “flat
world”. It is also a different approach to computing and
learning, one that doesn’t necessarily replicate how we’ve had
students use computers in the past. If the expectation is that
an iPad will be used as a computer replacement, then its
potential hasn’t been tapped.
An iPad used as a learning studio fosters a different kind of
connection to information and learning. It provides immediate
and quick access for classroom questions, or for teams of
students to enter content, analyze data or interact with
literature. It provides the basis for differentiated learning.

5. more than just easy storage and quick
The long battery life, a combination of Apps, iTunes U and
Internet access make it a good supplemental as well
instrumental source of learning that is always on.
Because of its size it can be a shared space for viewing and it
is easy to transport. With wireless throughout the school it
can be used indoors or out.
Teachers can set up jigsaws, quests, listening & viewing
stations, all with a differentiated focus - and better yet,
so can students. It is an engaging companion that students
can grab to direct their own learning.
Each discipline can set up their own Learning Labs by
folderizing Apps and sites. Explore and expand on some of

6. •Technologies can increase and enhance
the use of effective instructional strategies
• Teachers using technologies offer
extensive testimonial evidence of positive
effects in the classroom.
• Our Challenge: A commitment to the
Interactive Generation – we must use
technologies to enhance and expand

7. •Physical interactions – Students using the
technology - a good thing
•Social interactions – Students using the
technology to interact with peers, teachers,
guests, and distance guests.
• Cognitive interactions – The most
important! Students are doing a great deal of
the following: generating, asking, posing,
analyzing, solving, deciding, clarifying,
challenging, finding, understanding, proving,
wondering, persuading, inferring,

8. •Visual literacy is becoming even more
important.
o Visual literacy is the ability to make meaning from images and
to use images for communicating ideas.
•Use images to enhance student learning .
o A large body of research supports the instructional use of
nonlinguistic representations.

9. • Engagement relies on students: attention, feelings,
interest, perceptions of importance, sense of efficacy,
emotion is the best way into the mind.
• It is important to distinguish between compliant behavior
and cognitive engagement.

A number of iPad apps have
email built in...
i) You set up the kids' blogs on
Posterous and add these to 3 4
Contacts on the iPad.
ii) They use DrawingPad or
similar authoring tool
iii) They email the results to 5 6
their blog - no typing required
and even pre-literate kids can
usually spot their own name in
Mark
a list. Allen@edintheclouds

22. Install a painting app such as the
free Doodle Buddy. Students can
then use the iPad to draw their
answers to questions as they would
on a mini-whiteboard, but with less
mess and no need for pens.
The app can also be used (ESL)
when doing description - iPad in
pairs, one person describes hair
and eyes in the target language, the
other draws what they hear. Show #
and let kids draw objects to match #
(Show 3 and child draws 2 apples –

23. A few of my children have seen these two
characters on iPhones at home, so it is great
using a resource that parents have in the
classroom.
The characters listen to your voice and repeat
what you say. You can 'film' the characters
speaking and upload it to the internet.
My Reception class has had a lot of fun learning
how language works through this app. Most of
the class was saying 'You're a silly cat' so that
Talking Tom would repeat this, which they found
hilarious. What surprised me was that one of my
boys realized they should be saying 'I'm a silly
cat' so that Talking Tom would repeat that
phrase, and the joke had the desired effect.

I made 15 skype accounts. I
have a class set. Students can
use the iPads as a walkie-talkie
as they travel around the
school.
No video but all the other
benefits of skype (free phone
calls anywhere).
You can also create a skype
account to collect voice mails
from students (oral reports, field

25. Whiteboard Free
Whiteboard Free allows you to share iPad screens
across a number of iPads.
Once you open the app it asks if you want to 'share' your screen. Once you
allow this it means that when 1 person write on their iPad it will be seen on the
other iPads that it has been shared with.
Great for sharing ideas and keywords during reading times. Also any other time
where you want students to work collaboratively to write/share ideas!
Free App!
