• Buy 10 or more iPads from Apple
through your school and get $20 off each
one
• Ask your administrators
• With such a low cost, your administrator might be
able to find the funds available to test out your new
idea with technology
• Find a grant
• Grant Wrangler
• Buy it yourself
34. Why Buy When You Can Rent?
The REMC at Kent ISD lends out items
for you to try in your classroom.
One iPad at a time can be borrowed for
a period of 30 days

• Encourage student interaction and
collaboration
• Don’t limit yourself to just one app
• Take advantage of computer applications
• Record lessons/activities if possible
• Password protect your Airplay connection

38. Teach vs Tech
Remember, it’s not about the
technology, it’s about the tool. While
these formative assessment tools are
very effective, sometimes no-tech
options are a better solution.
