Great Article from a high school teacher perspective! However, I don't complete agree with a statement in #3, "if you have trouble with it [app] the students will too". That is not always the case from my experience. Other than that, this article provides excellent advice for the teacher in a 1:1 learning environment.

The accessibility technologies built into iOS — things like VoiceOver and Guided Access — let those with disabilities use their devices with as much wonder and enjoyment as the fully abled. VoiceOver describes aurally every object onscreen and its placement, as well as reading sequences of text aloud. Guided Access limits a device to a single app by disabling the Home button and limiting which onscreen areas can accept touch input. Delete the scoop?

This morning I had the pleasure of being a VIP guest at the “The Life of an Eanes Pioneer Child” iBook release party for Laura Wright’s 3rd grade class. Though the iBook was published a little less than a week ago (full blog review and details here), students and parents waited to download the digital delight until they reviewed it as a class today.

With a growing number of iPad programs in K12 settings, new productivity and engagement opportunities, and new content being developed in iTunes U, students have more ways than ever to utilize technology and enhance their classroom experiences – both as students and teachers. At the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education (JRCoE), we want our students to be able to lead a classroom using all of the resources available. We want future employers to know that OU Education graduates don’t just take technology in the classroom as an elective, but that it’s integrated into the curriculum. The university is providing fourth generation iPads with retina displays toundergraduate students who are fully admitted to the JRCoE. Our goal is to transform students’ learning experience at OU and prepare them to incorporate technology in their future classrooms. Upon graduation, students will be allowed to keep the iPad to use as professional educators.

"In this new mobile world, schools have an opportunity to truly personalize the learning experience for each and every student. When it comes to the ideology around both personalized learning and fostering creativity, one person comes to mind as a true champion for these beliefs in education: Sir Ken Robinson.

Walk into our school library and you’re bound to see scores of iPads propped up on the tables. Our students at Westlake High, a large suburban school on the outskirts of Austin, TX, are using them to read ebooks, download assignments, edit videos, write blog posts, and to do much more. Since we rolled out our 1:1 iPad program a year ago, more than 4,100 teachers and students, including eighth graders at the nearby middle school and even some of our elementary school classes, have taken advantage of these devices. In fact, they’ve become as much a part of students’ everyday lives as their notebooks, backpacks, and textbooks. Delete the scoop?

Over the last few years K-12 schools and districts across the country have been investing heavily in iPads for classroom use. EdTechTeacher has been leading iPad professional development at many of these schools and we’ve seen firsthand how they approach iPad integration.
While we’ve witnessed many effective approaches to incorporating iPads successfully in the classroom, we’re struck by the common mistakes many schools are making with iPads, mistakes that are in some cases crippling the success of these initiatives. We’re sharing these common challenges with you, so your school doesn’t have to make them. Delete the scoop?
