Enhancing learning experiences – have to ask myself ‘will this add to the children’s learning?’ ‘What is the outcome I am expecting and how has this been facilitated by using the ipad?’
Our school is on a journey
As more teachers see the benefits of using iPads in the classroom, the quality of useful apps will no doubt rise as supply begins to match demand
