iLearn
For this weeks educational post I want to inform all my followers on a great website titled "iLearn." i Learn is a website that was designed to educate teachers with different ways they can integrate the use of ipad into their classrooms. Within this website are many resources that help teachers find ways to in which they can promote the use of technology into their classrooms as educational tools. For example, the use of an I pad in classes will allow for students to access interactive and content based apps, looks up ideas and find answers to a magnitude of questions, access and read a wealth of books and magazines, view, discuss, and critique videos and podcasts created by universities and educational providers, create dozen of art projects and multimedia projects and many more! I feel instead of trying to ban the use of technology in schools they should promote the use of technology for educational use only in schools. I feel the ipad has so many educational applications and tools to offer students of this new generation that it would be a shame to put it to waste. I pose this question to my viewers...do you think the use of iPads in the classroom would be more beneficial and or more of a distraction in the classroom?

I think it is crucial and important for technology to be built into the classroom. Although and IPad is expensive it is a wonderful tool that can be used to integrate learning to the course content.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kevin. iPads, like any manipulatives would have to be introduced to the students with clear expectations. Once the rules are set, I feel that studnets could benefit greatly from being able to use the technology.
