My name is ......\nIn this session we will explore the creative potential of the iPad in the classroom, look at some of the reasons why you might use it over some other more traditional types of IT and then look at a possible workflow for a creative literacy lesson in the classroom.\n
I´m sure many of you are aware of the features of the iPad and the extremely knowledgeable ASE´s will be able to talk to you after this workshop about some of these features in more detail.\nI´m going to just highlight the big things as far as I´m concerned, and why I have recently bought sets for my school - Instant on, light and portable, very collaborative devices because of the way you interface with them (touch screen, very intuitive function), quick and easy workflows.\n
Lets think about the way IT is often conventionally done in a lot of schools including mine... \nDedicated room for IT? Is it really needed for a lot of tasks that teachers want to do in the classroom....\nNot advocating getting rid of them completely as certain tasks still best done on desktop or laptop - great for content creation such as video using iMovie and green screen, Garageband for podcasts and iBooks (other sessions will cover some of these areas).\n

No need to log on to the school network (as always on), speeds up workflow in the classroom\nThis does encourage different ways of sharing work as we will see later...\n
Lots of comparisons between iPad and Netbook but they are very different, and need a different approach.\nASE´s can again discuss in much more detail the differences but as we have mentioned they encourage different ways of working rather than just being smaller versions of a laptop. Some activities like video editing and music production, making iBooks are best done on a computer so not a replacement but for lots of what my teachers want to do, an iPad provides a really quick and easy way to do these tasks without leaving the classroom.\nLimited to what they can do only really by the apps we have on them....\n

So lets consider their use in the classroom....\nWhen I was at school, we had to use our imaginations to conjure up places that our teachers described such as rainforests, the North Pole, Roman empires, space flights. We also only had four TV channels, and there was no internet, and my games console was a device that made two lines and a dot appear on the TV. \nChildren have a huge and fantastic range of things to keep them entertained and some can find it harder to imagine these worlds they have no experience of.\n

There are a huge range of apps that can be used to bring these virtual worlds alive. \nWe are going to spend a few minutes exploring a medieval castle courtesy of epic Citadel.\nThis is a free app that was designed to demonstrate the potential of a games engine for writing games, but offers great opportunities for getting children to write when repurposed by teachers. Key to lots of the use of apps in the classroom - the teacher helps to contextualise and make sense of the app use.\n
I’m going to give you a few minutes to explore this mysterious deserted castle.....\nAs you wander I’d like you to capture a few screenshots...\nUse the Home button and sleep/wake button simultaneously to do this....\nWe’ll be using these later...\nWhile you explore try to think of the people we might expect to live in this castle, and why the castle is deserted......what could have happened??\n

We are going to use another app Strip Designer to document our little explore.\nThis great app is available for iPod/iPhone and iPad and allows you to create multi page comics...\nQuick explanation.....\n

Give delegates a few minutes to have a go at creating a comic adding text and speech bubbles etc....\n
There are a variety of options for sharing, and publishing.\nYou might print work out, ask students to email to your or class email, copy to clipboard and use in another app like Pages and save to a shared folder once they have added some extra info, save to a shared folder on your network, save to dropbox (in other words there are a wide range of options....)\nThe app will store your work automatically when you exit...\n\n
We have only looked at how we might make use of the iPad in one curriculum area\nGreat thing about this approach is it lends itself to cross curricular project work\nWe could have used a whole variety of the apps on the iPad to create art, extended stories\n
