Use the box below to talk about anything you think is great about the iPads:
- The ability for students to listen to books (and read them) in different languages. The engagement that can occur with students when using the iPads. Some of the apps that are geared directly toward specific content areas can be extremely beneficial. The ability to take a picture of a frame and then email the picture to the teacher to be graded.
- Voice Over and Dictation
- The kids like them because it is a break from the old ways, and anything they like sure makes it easier to get them on board, so to speak.
- The newest technology is what makes kids excited about learning. They WANT to use the iPads to do research!
- I love them! The only thing that sucks is when they have wrong answers and there is nothing we can do to fix them.
- A great hook for the kiddos!
- Easy to use.
- The ease of use/transition to get them out and put them away. They also really seem to capture the students' attention.
- Very user friendly
Use the box below to talk about any struggles or concerns you have with the iPads:
- It would be nice to have more "open-ended" apps where teachers can input and borrow information that pertains to their classroom and then be able to have the app create games, practices, etc. based on the information given by the teacher.
- The need for wi-fi school wide.
- Wireless connectivity issues, videos not working, that sort of thing. Once you use them a couple of times, you get pretty comfortable with them.
- The screens get dirty
- Not being able to keep up with what the students know about them! And no way to constantly monitor what they are doing.
- Just typing, still feels weird!
- They can be really slow at times, to process a task or use apps.
- I have found no apps that pertain to my subject area beyond things that could only be classified as elementary or time wasters.
