I conduct this PD by modeling how technology an be used as part of the learning process; this was done in a 3rd grade class when we used Explain Everything’s white board to write work out math problems. Or having students place the iPads “Apple Up” on their desk so we can discuss the next part of the lesson or someone can share what they learned. (We don’t have Apple Classroom fully operational just yet).
After working in several classes last week, it was exciting to see both students and staffs reaction to what they were doing and creating. At the end of my last lesson, the young new teacher told me “I can see now the iPads are not just for using apps.” That was the coolest line I had heard in a while, and what a way to end the week.
