2. Cart Set-Up

• Download & update apps through this account
• Sync entire cart with this account from computer
• As apps are downloaded, push apps
out to the entire cart

• Create a classroom iPad contract
• Students in each class = specific iPad
4. Implementation
• @ beginning, choose a few apps to focus on
• Create a simple activity to familiarize students
with use & apps (ex. scavenger hunt)
• Establish a central location, accessible from
the iPads, for dissemination of info.
Edmodo or My Big Campus
are perfect examples http://www.flickr.com/photos/ctjonline/3486042912/
5. Implementation (2)
• Demonstrate short cuts & app use
• Try activities first
• Utilize your resources -
student knowledge & tutorials on the Internet
• Scaffold app use as the course progresses
6. Apps
• Read reviews
• Subscribe to Twitter feeds
and websites
• Look for free apps
• Try it before pushing
it out to the cart http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick-allen/4318787860/
