The document discusses an iPad pilot program at Meadowbrook school where K-2 teachers and special education teachers were given 1-5 iPads for 5 weeks. It includes positive teacher feedback about using the iPads in centers, groups, and during free choice. It also discusses envisioning how iPads could be used in 2011-2012 as teaching tools, to provide experiences not otherwise possible, to easily meet many learning needs, and for activities like digital storytelling, photos and videos, physical education, and creating eBooks.
5. “I would really like to express how wonderful
an experience we have had with these devices
in our room. I've used them in centers, math
groups, reading groups, and during free choice
and it has been awesome getting to see how
independent and excited about the iPads my
kindergartners are. We are SO sad that the
iPads will be leaving us on Thursday :(”
6. Just want to share a little conversation I
heard between two students in the hall:
“That was awesome! I want to do that
again. Next time you try one app and
I'll try another.”
7. How do we envision
using the iPads in
2011-2012?

iPads have been around since April 2010, and educators have been working to figure out how they fit into the classroom, Do they fit in? I will be taking about SOME of the ways the iPads MIGHT be used next year. Tech changes so quickly, by October \n
As a result, all K-2 teachers will have a set of 5 iPads in their classrooms. K-5 Special Education teachers have the option of using sets of iPads as well. The cart will provide access for our 3rd-5th graders, specials...\n

iPad 2 has a camera to take still photos and video cameras to shoot videos. These provide many ways for students to demonstrate their learning and interact with information.\n
Skills practice, creation of a project to demonstrate learning, play as learning, extension of classroom activities, reading e-books.\n
