ipads in the classroom
The 4th grade at my school will be piloting ipads in the classroom this fall. Each student will receive an ipad for use in regular and enrichment classes. Please share apps you have used and ideas for ipad technology in the classroom. We have been doing a great deal of research on this topic, but it would be great to hear from other teachers who use technology in the classroom. I plan to share throughout the pilot.

1:1 iPad Student videos
My school just went one to one in February. We created a couple of videos about our work. The first video is how we used iPads in our daily work. I know there is so much more, but remember, we only had the devices for 3 months!

The other video is one the students made about how they tried to get away with being on games in class. They made sort of a PSA for teachers so they would know what to watch out for. Maybe it will help someone else with monitoring students with their iPads! Enjoy!

Hi, There are so many apps
Hi,
There are so many apps out there that sometimes it can be hard finding the right ones to use. As you've done, I reckon the best method is to talk to other educators - and to share ideas about great apps.
So, with that in mind, I recommend you have a look at this site, which breaks down iPad apps according to how they might be used to fulfill Bloom's taxonomy: http://langwitches.org/blog/2011/08/21/blooms-taxonomy-and-ipad-apps/
IPads as clickers
I created the LectureTools app to replace "clickers" in my college classes as it has more question types like dots on maps. It stores results in the cloud so you and students can see questions in or outside class once you release them. Download it here.
My name is Trina Vargo and I
My name is Trina Vargo and I am the founder and president of the US-Ireland Alliance, a 501.c.3. We are beginning to create materials (do be delivered online) for high school teachers who wish to teach about Irish/Northern Ireland history and literature. Our first project is the creation of a video about a poem by Eavan Boland about famine roads. This project is currently on Kickstarter at http://kck.st/KiOyEy More about our project may be found at http://bit.ly/KKe1xn We welcome any thoughts, suggestions and support. We are also building a database of emails of teachers who may want these materials as they become available. In particular, high school teachers who teach world cultures/world history and the language arts teachers who are interested in Irish literature. Please email me if this interests you: Vargo@us-irelandalliance.org
