Finally! A Class Full of Ipads!
After years and years of being envious of teacher
blogs, I've finally decided to create my very own! This blog in particular will
be geared toward my first year with a classroom full of ipads! You'll hear all
about the highs and lows (hopefully mostly highs!) of implementing ipads into
our daily schedule.
For me, this isn't too scary since I've used apple
products since college. I am working on my MacBook as we speak and I've had
Ipods, Iphones and Ipads for years. So, you could say I am pretty familiar with
the operating system.
BUT, using an apple product is completely different
than teaching someone to use and apply the device. Not just substituting the
device but creating with the device! Difficult, but not impossible. A little
scary, but exciting!
My district provided us a three-day training on our
Ipads. At first, I thought I would be bored out of my mind, but I was
pleasantly surprised by how much I did not know. The Ipad has so much
POTENTIAL! I knew how to use the apps and what not, but our trainer provided
new ways to use those apps with our students.
So here we go! In 11 days, school will start and this journey will
begin. I hope we can all come together and learn from each other as we embark
on a very technological future with our students!
