What can iPads do? What can’t they do?
How can I take my successful classroom
strategies or what works for me integrate
iPads?
How can iPads value add to what I currently
do in my classroom?




Take a topic/theme that you teach eg
Identity, Sustainability, Energy.
Create a list of strategies or activities you use
Identify those that could be enhanced with
the use of iPads
Identify new strategies or activities that iPads
enable
Rethink the way you teach

Discuss:
What are the stages and
processes when implementing
a new initiative?
Share:
What have you found out about
implementing initiatives?
Issues to be taken into account:
◦ Model of ownership
◦ Device – shared
◦ Infrastructure
◦ PD
◦ Apps & quality &finding
◦ Assessment
◦ Policy documents – user agreements,
◦ Data management
◦ ICT helpdesk
◦ Costs of apps – vouchers & management
◦ Parent involvement – communications strategy
◦ Measuring value – evaluation

Four phases:
◦ PLANNING – research, vision, consult, assess readiness, project plan,
budget
◦ PREPARATION – assess teacher skills, professional learning, spaces,
suppliers, applications, costs, policies
◦ IMPLEMENTATION – support services, distribute, use in classrooms
◦ EVALUATION – device use (action research), support services, policies and
management


Staff Capability


Community
◦ The school is preparing its community

Document how the plan works at your school

Assess readiness against each step

Where would you review:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
ICT infrastructure (servers, wireless, network, etc)
eLearning Plan
Technicians
Teacher ICT skills
Student ICT skills
Raised from discussion:
 NSSCF – blend of devices & how to manage –
◦ Apple & Microsoft knowledge bases. TSSPs network.

Networks – Xirrus wireless points are robust
Cost – saving money – cheap vouchers
Updates & how to manage
Licensing of apps – Casper to push out apps to people, remote
monitoring & tracking
Some PDFs can convert to eBooks
Maintenance & Insurance
Charging
iTunes accounts & set up – buy a free app, set up another
account and buy from a gift card or voucher. Parents hold the
iTunes account & emphasise no credit card a/c.
Synching ipads and apps – labour intensive for shared devices
Parent persuasive ideas
iPads, windows and managing the dual platform
