It has been a long time since I have last blogged. It is that time of the year ... Crunch time. AKA, have no life, eat junk food/convenient food, get all the homework you can done as well as you can AND STILL HAVE CLASSES! Yes, yes, a lot of you might be thinking, "Well, how busy can you be?". WELL, busy enough! I do not have to justify myself! If I cannot sleep at night because of my anxieties about assignments, then I think I am pretty busy. Anyhow, back to my blog (sorry, needed a brief venting moment), while working on my ICT project with my fellow classmates I came across this article about having one iPad for the classroom.
"Only one iPad?" you might be thinking? In a classroom no less?? How can that be enough? Well, I hate to break it to you, but a lot of schools do not have the budget to afford more than that. Although, one iPad can do plenty of good for a classroom:
-There is less hands on distractions with the children.
-There a lot of fun filled education apps that the teacher can benefit from AS WELL AS THE STUDENTS! (Its not JUST about the teachers you know...)
-The iPad can be plugged into a SMART board for presentaitons/slideshows
This list goes on and on. Of course, you all might be thinking of cons as well. Hmm, except cons does not help the teacher that only has one iPad. SO .... BE POSITIVE!
Can you think of any other uses for a single iPad in the classroom?
Google "single iPad in classroom use" and you will find plenty of articles covering this topic.
YAY!! Technology! Innovation!
