Blog 15 The Last!

Blog 15: The last! WOW! It has been a challenge, but one that I’m so glad that I experienced. Ipads have made a big difference in my classroom. Participation, discipline and grades were all effected in a big positive way. I had so much fun teaching my students but also learning new things from them. I am so proud of the higher attendance rate of my students. They did not want to miss being on the iPad. Whether we were blogging, reading a book on iBook’s, or creating a puppet show in Puppet Pals 2, the students couldn’t get enough. One of my biggest challenges was going from a 1:1 ratio of students to iPads, to adding a few PC to not having enough devices. I had to rethink my lessons. I really do hope in the future that it can be a 1:1 ratio for all students in the district. My best advice is, “Be adventurous, and incorporate one thing at a time.” I really want to learn more about OneNote.
