I want to use a classroom iPad to improve student feedback and provide video demonstrations when we are in the welding shop. We frequently run into situations where student's in the shop could benefit from having technology easily accessible. The first major benefit is the improved feedback I'll be able to offer students. I want to use the iPad to take pictures of welds and quickly annotate feedback in Canvas on what went well and where the weld can improve. I want to be able to film students welding and then playback and analyze their welding technique with them, so we can breakdown each step of the process and pick out the main areas of focus. The iPad will improve welding demonstrations. I will be able to watch a student weld and then pull up a relevant video that can give great first person demonstration of exactly what they should be seeing behind the welding hood. Sometimes watching the instructor weld from the side isn't as useful as the first person view found in a lot of great welding education videos. I can also use the device to record class demonstrations, and then make these available for students who might have missed class or want to go back and re-watch the demonstration. Finally, the iPad will help with project creation in the shop. Projects can include multiple documents such as blueprints, bill of materials, cut lists, and a plan of procedures. Having an iPad powerful enough to handle the CAD software we use will allow me to pull up 3D models along with other supporting documents for project and show student's in real time the 3D model as they build.
