Through a grant, my colleague and I got iPads for our students to use but have no way to charge them and keep them locked up. I love using apps to help my students experience history. I use the iPads for several projects, such as stations where students delve into different sources to learn about the events of 9/11, WWII and modern wars. I also use the iPads for them to research and present Keynotes on the best invention of the Industrial Revolution and "Who Wrote Shakespeare." However I have found that it is difficult to manage the charging, syncing and security of 15 iPads. This puts the devices in their hands more frequently and makes better use of the technology. The smaller charging cords enables us to manage the charging with much less chaos, and the earbuds make it so students can watch videos on the topics or listen to interviews as sources as well. Students in my class will use technology and collaboration to explore history and the world. They will use chart paper and post-its to brainstorm ideas and iPads to research and then create projects to show what they have learned. In this way, they are being collaborative and using technology, which are 21st century skills they will need for the rest of their lives. The chart paper and pens enable the students to collaborate with each other when researching and creating. For example, when group research the "real" Shakespeare or Industrial Revolution inventions and create Keynotes, they can brainstorm and plan their Keynote on the chart paper or giant post-its first.
