Integration Strategies for the iPad

1. Integration Strategies for the iPad Cecilie Murray John Sloan Delphian eLearning

2. Traditional pedagogy Pedagogical Content

3. Instructional models • What is your school instructional model? • Some examples: • Challenge based learning • http://ali.apple.com/cbl/ • Inquiry Learning • http://www.eqa.edu.au/site/whatmakesagoodinquiry.html • E5 Instructional model • http://www.education.vic.gov.au/proflearning/e5/ • Blooms Digital Taxonomy • http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Bloom's+Digital+Taxonomy • Intel Teach Instructional strategies • http://educate.intel.com/au/ProjectDesign/InstructionalStrategies/

5. Benefits of iPads • Mobility • Ubiquity • Accessibility • Connectivity • Context sensitivity • Individuality • Creativity Woodill (2011) The Mobile Learning Edge, at http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/mobile/jisc-mobile-review.pdf

7. Where do I start? • 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?

8. Effective strategies • 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

9. Implementation Strategy Cecilie Murray John Sloan Delphian eLearning

10. What do we know? Discuss: What are the stages and processes when implementing a new initiative?

11. What do we know? Share: What have you found out about implementing initiatives?

12. Feedback from discussion 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

13. Develop a Strategy • 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 • Good Practice Tips • Implementation of Mobile Learning projects • http://delphian.com.au/mobile-learning-articles

22. How ready are you? • Teaching and Learning • Teachers are confident to use ICT to plan, deliver and assess curriculum online • Leadership • Principal and leadership team are confident to implement • Staff Capability • Teachers are confident and capable ICT users • Infrastructure • School infrastructure and technical support is robust • Data/Content • Data and content is ready to upload • Community • The school is preparing its community

23. Implementation Plan • 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

24. iPad Implementation Issues 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

25. Action Research and Evaluation Cecilie Murray John Sloan Delphian eLearning

26. Action research cycle http://leadingict.wikispaces.com/Rationale

27. Action Research • Planning • Essential Question • Rationale – background info • Research Questions – clarify the aims • Success indicators • student improvement • teacher pedagogy • Methodology - data gathering tools, intervals, etc • Implementation – what you do in class • Reflection • Reporting
