technology) improve instruction and student
learning?

do in class? Outside of class?

Advancement
Students are of course the REASON why we are adopting tablets – let’s see what the initiative means for students:
Apple started a trend that shows no sign of abating. Smartphones and tablets are on the rise.Faculty are data hounds; let’s take a look at some statistics.
Statistics tell the story one way. Let’s hear directly from our students about what the tablet initiative will mean to them.
So why ARE they so popular? They are a multi-functional tool that is INTUITIVE and MOBILENUI versus GUI – control with hands and are supremely mobile, especially mini

How will faculty get support in learning to use all this? Extremely intuitive, but
Instructional Technology is not new and neither is the general considerations for incorporating it into instruction.Contemplate on the following:How will using the iPad (like any other technology) improve instruction and student learning?How will everything you do with the iPad serve your course objectives?What will be different from what you already do in class? Outside of class?(If the answers to these questions leave them unsatisfied after the training, then maybe this isn’t a venture for them.)Principles of Learning (from the How Learning Works Initiative)Supportive Climate, Motivation, Student Development Prior KnowledgeOrganizationPractice and FeedbackMastery and Self-directed Learners
iPad Essentials – new AND experienced – navigation, email, wireless, security, accessibility, file and data management – BOX, iCloudUsing iPads in the Classroom – Sharing files, screens, projecting with the iPad, clickers, other collaboration apps like Nearpod

Like Dropbox but more secure, accessibe, and paid for by UniversitymyCSUNfaculty already have box accounts – 10 GB storage!
Picyture of student
Daisy and I are up here as speakers but it has taken, and will take, involvement from all divisionsAll divisions are involved. There are people in every division, helping in all kinds of ways whether it’s dealing with how to provide iPads for students, how to do the logistics of ordering your iPad machines, logistics of support. Financial aid – how finance iPads?A&R – how list courses?Cross-divisioal groups have been working to solve – Hilary has been saying for several months that we have more questions we have answers to. We have people working across campus…Acknowledge groups.FTC is here to help. And it’s all about students.
