"The adoption rate of iPad in education is
something I've never seen from any

institution in terms of buying, or K-12
does, and we're not seeing that at all on the
iPad."
-- Apple CEO Tim Cook

51. Some Tips
Training is an ongoing process, not a one time workshop.
Remember, you don’t have to be the expert … you’ll NEVER
be the expert.
Culture change often starts at the bottom up. Nurture your
innovators and let them lead the way.
Timely, in-class help is an invaluable asset for teachers.
You spent huge amounts on the equipment. Spend on the
staff and training to make it work.
Culture change requires planning and lots of time. Make the
time for it.

Editor's Notes
----- Meeting Notes (3/12/13 16:59) -----Teacher creates the notebooks and shares it with student.Can create content directly within notes - including use of iPad to take images and record audio. (great for language class)*** Sees contant in progress not just when submitted.Can also keep Portolio notebooks for each student. Share with parents and on parent-teacher nights.
Loose set – depends on age and disciplinesYou decide – important to keep it simpleStress apps as tools rather than patchwork solutions (“something that teaches the Civil War”)Don’t look to match to curriculum topics
Select a destination for each group.Using an app called Maps + - links to Maps app and Google MapsMake stops along the way – research and describe the geography and topography, climate zones, landmarksCreate an iMovie or presentation of the trip
If you haven't seen this video, this is a music teacher in the UK. iPad lets you play any instrument and participate ...
Brings me to the end. Before leaving, want to remind you about the book … and give away a free copy.Use Random app on the iPad.Open spreadsheet to see number of names for random drawing.
