You may want to consider numbering your iPads and assigning a number to each student (just in case)
Auto-saving/DropboxCertain apps will require accounts—class
account?Make sure apps are downloaded before you
plan to teach with themUse Folders for App storage because you will
accumulate a lot!Play time
Management Tips:
Where did we learn about which apps to use? Our PLN!
You should get on twitter!
It is probably best to first choose your learning outcome and then find (google, twitter, etc) an app to suit that learning outcome. Rather than, finding cool apps and then making them fit in…
Always know WHY you are using something and make sure it is about the learning!
Disclaimer…
Educreations: Interactive White Board(similar to show me and explain everything)
1 of Hugh’s Favourite Apps
Book Creator ($4.99 but totally worth it! Sync to all iPads
1 of Gallit’s Favourite Apps
We will give each group a couple of apps to explore!
Play time is essential…we need to make time to just play with the apps/explore (just like you would with students)
In your table group take some time to play with each app
Choose one to share with the groupWhat do you like about it?How could you use it with students?
App Exploration Time!
