This document discusses using iPads in the classroom. It begins by stating that taking the first step to incorporating new technology can be difficult but provides inspiration. It then provides background on the author and discusses how iPads have evolved and are being used by teachers and students. Ipads are described as interactive through features like digital whiteboards, adaptive by fitting different learning styles and disabilities, and emerging as the top technology for educational apps and replacing textbooks. Several iPad apps are presented for classroom productivity, presentations, collaboration, assessments, video/screen recording, and examples are given of how schools have implemented iPad initiatives. Perceptions of iPads are shown to be positive according student surveys. Funding options and example costs are also covered

1. Teaching with
the iPad
Chuck Konkol

2. The hardest thing about learning something new is
that first step. You have had the iPad for awhile now
and deep down you know you could be using it as a
tool in the classroom but you didn’t know where to
start. Hopefully, this session will inspire to take that
first step into using your iPad in the classroom.
As a college professor of mine used to say, “Diligence
breeds success”!

Universities (2-4 year) now require iPads for
teachers and students to use iPads.
According to the American Graduate Initiative
Community Colleges are to graduate 5,000,000
more graduates. iPads will help us get there!

iPad Perception is Positive

15. iPad Perception is Positive
March 2012 survey by the Pearson Foundation
and Harris Interactive
Tablet ownership among college students and
high school seniors has risen dramatically in the
last year—ownership has tripled among college
students (25% vs. 7% in 2011) and quadrupled
among high school seniors (17% vs. 4% in 2011).

16. iPad Perception is Positive
The survey reveals that more students are reading
digital books, and that a majority of college
students (63%) and high school seniors (69%)
believe that tablets will effectively replace textbooks
within the next five years.

17. One of the biggest reasons tablets are so popular
on college campuses is the fact that they give
students convenient access to digital textbooks,
or e-books, whether they are pursuing classroom-
based or online education.
