21 ST CENTURY LITERACY

THE STANDARDS  23 standards which address technology in K-5  55 standards in K-12 require the use of technology in some way  technology-k12 technology-k12

A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING Evolution of iPad use in the classroom…  REMEMBER:  Change takes time!  It’s a process  Not everyone goes through all steps…

EXCITEMENT OR RELUCTANCE  One or the other… usually.  “OMG I love new things!”  “Here we go again – something new to learn.”

CONCERN Uh-Oh!  How do I actually use this thing?   IPAds-for-Learning_Getting-Started IPAds-for-Learning_Getting-Started

APP HAPPY! There’s an APP for that (really–there usually is)  Over 800,000 apps (as of March 2013)  56.2% of those are free  MANY are great… even more are junk

TIME FILLER We might get to the iPads  “Later on”  “If we have time”  “If you get done with your work”  “If you are good”
