Student Learning It is not just about learning to use the iPad, but giving students a powerful tool to reach the highest levels of learning.

iPad in Practice

Practical Aspects Case must remain on the iPad – especially the cover as that protects the screen. Checked out to students through the library database, similar to textbooks. Security – locked cabinets in classrooms and ESS. Students charge at home each night using only the provided Apple lightening charger. Morning playground – students will place on a lunch table reserved for their classroom. School will install and manage all apps.

Professional Learning Creekside is committed to ongoing professional learning How to design assignments that are more empowering and will engage students. How to choose which tool is best for the desired learning. How to troubleshoot tech issues.
