Integrating iPads in Classroom Learning: Insights and Strategies

This course project explores the potential of iPads in educational settings, focusing on their application for enhancing teaching and learning practices. It covers various aspects such as emerging technologies, their impact on strategic advantage, and effective use of information systems in business processes. Students investigate diverse applications for iPad adoption in the classroom and conduct research analyses on technology trends, including consumer electronics showcases. Key findings suggest that iPads serve as effective tools for engaging students and enhancing educational experiences, rather than as direct replacements for traditional resources.

  2. Course Overview • A management-oriented overview of information systems with an emphasis on ways to analyze and use information technologies from the perspective of a business professional. • Topics include: • international competitive uses of information systems; • various ways of using information technologies in business processes, products, and services; • impacts of information systems on the productivity of individuals and organizations; • alternative methods for building information systems; • factors leading to successful implementation of information systems; • and threats and risks associated with information systems.

  3. Original Proposal/Expectations • To examine emerging technologies and their impacts and achieve strategic advantage • One focus would be on examination of the potential of the iPad in a classroom setting • Investigating different applications for classroom adoption • Potential for note-taking capture and researching supplemental textbook information • Many companies use iPads for use in operational processes and data collection • Students would gain experience with capturing data and then using programs to process the data

  4. How did mobile technology/Apps enhance teaching and learning? • Compared traditional assignment and repeated with flipboard • Conduct a short research analysis on the specific year provided to you in class (i.e. 2014,2013, 2012 etc) Consumer Electronics Show http://ces.cnet.com . • See if you can notice any new trends and then write a 2-3 page summary of your own personal analysis regarding which trends appear to most likely to be successful. • You should also include a discussion on information technology adoption both from a company and personal perspective.

  5. FLIPBOARD ASSIGNMENT RESULTS • Matias  http://flip.it/4FMv2 • Shannon McManus http://flip.it/6lrwA • Zach    http://flip.it/vPGu7 • Taylor Trayner http://flip.it/Cuacy • Daniel Hagen http://flip.it/QkFZ5

  6. Details- Student Instruction • Students were directed to research applications • ShannonStudy Blue • TaylorTrello • MatiasMyScript • DanGoogle Earth • ZachLumonsity • NoemyNumbers • Other apps • NetAnalyzer • Coverage Map • MS Dynamics CRM App • Prezi

  7. Important Lessons Learned • iPad was used to purchase book for the class

  8. Important Lessons Learned • Study Blue App helped with learning material

  9. Current Project • iMovie project • Interviewing students on use and/or possible use of iPads in the classroom • Creating a USD Bucket list • iBook • Will be using iBook Author to make a ‘mini’ book of their final exam

  10. Limitations • Regular classroom had computer access thus negating need for ipad device • Ipad devices could not project wirelessly onto screen (only instructor) • Still never found a good direct iPad to iPad connection (had to use a third source..website or app) • Drop box was not a real fluid/ease of use method of file transfer

  11. Lessons Learned • iPads could be used as a textbook replacement • iPads were helpful when engaging in Lab Activities • The ipad did not work so much as a replacement of other classroom instruction tools but rather an enhancement • The ipad definitely helped with making better presentation of material • iMovie results not currently completed • iBook results not currently completed
