Tool #8

1. After watching the videos/tutorials, list two to three things you learned about the device(s) that will be in your classroom this fall.
iPods and iPads are great for using specific apps to guide student learning. They allow me to create specific activities for each child. I am really excited to use the Netbooks for Video conferencing and Skype. Opening up my classroom globally will offer the students a very unique experience! I plan on using both as classroom workstations in all curricular areas.
2. How do you plan to manage the device(s) in your classroom? Do you have ideas/suggestions that others may find useful?
I plan on having a “job” in my classroom that is in charge of keeping the material organized. I also plan on assigning them to specific students on a rotation during workstation time. The students are so excited to use them that it will not be an issue to incorporate them into the classroom.

the pads will be enjoyed by all of the students...yours should be "2" so you can really do some great projects.
