I've just created a wiki about my first love--iPads. I'm really excited to see what types of responses I get from "out there" about how people are using iPads in the classroom. I feel like such a little guy, but I really do hope it will turn into a tool people can use to improve their experiences with iPads.
Take a look, and feel free to leave a comment sharing your thoughts, links, favorite iPad apps for education. I'd also love to hear about your experiences in directly using or in indirectly observing others use the iPad to learn something new.

Hi, Jenji. This was my first introduction to AcademicEarth (http://academicearth.org/courses/justice-whats-the-right-thing-to-do). I thought it was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! The topics are so powerful for those classes that they are online courses that really draw you in. I'm intrigued by "What Is It Like To Be a Baby: The Development of Thought" from the Yale psychologist Paul Bloom.

Exciting! We have a couple of small iPad initiatives going on in our district and I expect to see it expand. A lot of people question whether they are worth the money, but until I used them I didn't realize how versatile and powerful of a tool it is. Many of our administrators use them to do teacher walk through evaluations and access information on the go as they are out and about the schools. We have an instructional initiative going on in an elementary music classroom. There are some awesome apps for music theory and music writing and virtual instruments. I hear that our Special Ed department just purchased some but I haven't seen them in action yet so I'm not sure what their intent is. This is a topic I am interested in too, so I thought I'd share a few links:
ReplyDeleteHere's a page with some apps, and of course Apple's site does a great job introducing new apps for education too.

Looking forward to collaborating with you about iPads! Maybe we could make a project share group to share apps?
Christie, I have used all iOS devices from iPod, iPhone and iPad. I love all of them. I use them for my personal entertainment as well as my professional career. Since I am a network administrator, most of the apps that I use are network related. As you mention in your post, school districts now use the iPads for walk throughs and instructional activities.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, thanks both of you! Christie, please feel free to share your ideas on my Wiki "Favorite Apps" page. I'd LOVE to collaborate with you on that site or another. Feel free to edit it freely. I'm in Austin, so we could perhaps even meet and talk about our ideas...
ReplyDeleteI will keep checking this out. My iPad was purchased to help me write a book and to use with work, but it's almost exclusively a home entertainment device. I scarcely use it unless I am playing music or a silly game. Lauren uses it to watch movies. I am seriously having trouble seeing how it will help me in my college lit or comp classes!
ReplyDeleteWendy, I suggest you start by using Evernote. I find it an extremely helpful tool for organizing my to-do lists, lesson plans, and thoughts from anywhere. You're so on the go, that I think you'll find it useful. I think, you can expand from there to see many other uses for the iPad. Definitely check out the wiki for a lot of other cool ideas from everywhere. Do I remember correctly that your iPad is not 3G? If that's the case, that may be why you limit its use primarily to the home. But I still think you'd find Evernote useful. You can create a list on one device (work computer) and add to it while waiting at the doctor's office, sync it when you're back and home and expand it from your home computer. I'd be happy to show you some of the amazing things I've done with it. Also, have you seen the free Shakespeare app? I'm not sure how much you teach Shakespeare these days, but you may find it useful.
