13 Benefits of the iPad Cost Individualized Learning Versatility

14 Cost Benefit O $399-$850 depending on model O Electronic Textbooks can replace books O Buying apps that can be updated rather than expensive software and textbooks that get outdated O Battery Life

15 Individualized Learning O Accessibility Features O Differentiation O Universal Design for Learning (Cast, 2010) O Representation O Expression O Engagement

16 Versatility O All Subjects O Mobile O Accessibility O Added Tools O Safety (Wilson, Nash, Wissinger, & Leidman, 2013)

17 iPad Uses Technology Integration Classroom Tools Higher Order Thinking

18 Technology Integration O ISTE Standards (ISTE, 2008) O Teachers Teachers O Students Students O 1:1 mobile devices O Integrate with other Technology tools (Heick, 2012)

20 Classroom Tools O App Store containing over 80,000 educational apps (Apple, 2015) O iTunes U educational content O iBooks O Existing Content O Teacher as Author O Accessibility O Guided Access O Siri O Dictation O Safari Reader O Face Time O Voice Over O Closed Captioning

23 “There’s an App for That” Syndrome (Murray & Olcese, 2011) Mistake Searching for an app that addresses specific curriculum content

24 The iTunes Store O Find Content O Each iPad must be associated with an Apple ID O Safety and Security Concerns

25 Case Studies Real Examples of iPad Integration

26 Real Examples Check out https://www.apple.com/education/real- stories/ to see examples of using iPads in the classroom.

27 Review Now it’s Your Turn

28 Survey O What grade(s) do you teach? O What subject do you teach? O Rate your familiarity with the iPad. O 1 = Unfamiliar; 2 = Somewhat Familiar; 3 = Familiar; 4 = Very Familiar O How do you feel about integrating technology in your classroom? O 1 = Very apprehensive;2 = Apprehensive; 3 = Comfortable 4 = Very Comfortable O When students use technology in my class, I observe… O Which apps do you use most in your class?

29 Pick an App O Based on your survey answers, pick an app that you could use to integrate the iPad in to the classroom. O Download the App onto your iPad. O Play around with the app and get familiar. O Then think based on this presentation how does this app fit with the standards, blooms taxonomy, and your classroom environment.

30 Real Stories O Watch one of the real examples of using iPads in the classroom from Apple in Education or another source. O Write a blog post on your blog sharing the link and how it inspired you to integrate iPads into your classroom.

31 Lesson Plan Create a one class lesson plan that includes integration of the iPad in the classroom. (Keep in mind what you teach) Include: Objectives, Goals, Required Materials, ISTE Standards, Anticipatory Set, Direct Instruction, Guided Practice, Independent Practice, Closure, and Assessment

32 Goal To effectively integrate the iPad into your classroom Share knowledge with other teachers
