The rapid development of digital tools such as the Internet, personal computer and Smartphone have allowed people to utilize a new means of expression and interpretation of information. As current research can attest, classrooms across America are filled with children who – at an age as young as three - are engaging with the world to make their own meaning through these modes of media. The majority of America’s classrooms typically reflect a more linear landscape where teachers deliver a curriculum that is not student-centered and looks a lot like instruction forty years ago, based on the industrial model. Fortunately, there are educational leaders who are looking to bridge this divide by designing instruction and use technology as a tool for knowledge building. Bringing in traditional and new tools essentially enables students to take charge of their learning in ways that are meaningful to them. Here is a list of a few ways that iPads could be used in our classroom: 1. Reading: Books can be downloaded in a PDF version. 2. Listening: Students can download educational podcasts or audiobooks for instant listening and viewing through the iTunes store. 3. Publication: Students can post and publish content to classroom blogs, Google Classroom, and the like. 4. Collaboration: Students can work together to make meaning through school-friendly social apps/websites available through the iPad. 5. Offer Individualized Instruction: The iPad can provide a differentiated platform for additional curricular paths and challenges. With the help of a teacher, students could identify their interests and needs and use the iPad in a multitude of ways to accomplish their academic goals. 6. Gaming: iTunes has thousands of educational Apps available that exist in a gaming format. These fun and engaging games can be used to introduce or reinforce content across curricular areas.
