Purpose Why we use it

One  of  the  ways  we  address  the  technology  vision  of  our  school:      “Systema9cally  embed  the  use  and  study  of  technology  into  mul9ple,  varied  and  authen9c  curricular  and  extra-­‐curricular  func9ons,  blurring  the  line  between  academic  enterprises  and  those  engaged  in  outside  the  schoolhouse…      Technology,  regardless  of  form,  is  perceived  as  a  process,  product,  tool  and  subject  of  study  inextricably  intertwined  with  all  others  at  the  learner’s  disposal.”

Tips & Tricks

1.  Train, train, train… Review (repeat)

a.  Your Teachers b.  Your Students c.  Your Community

2.  Organize a.  Set the Stage: knock yourself out with folders, subfolders, sub-subfolders…

b.  Model organizational skills for your students

3.  Plan Ahead a.  Develop templates and outlines b.  Purpose-driven apps

Not to Do To Do 1. Assume Tech-Saviness a.  Proper and effective application of the iPad in an academic environment is not instinctive to teachers or “digital natives”

2.  You Can Do It All! a.  No, you can’t. Focus time and energy on “foundational” applications (e.g. Google Apps, iTunesU)

b.  Purpose-driven apps Apps come and go… focus on student learning outcomes and select the tool(s) that will best accomplish those goals
