The Dos and Don'ts for Integrating iPads | Edutopia

The Dos and Don'ts for Integrating iPads | Edutopia

This would be great if my school followed some of the tips for educators.  We have been given too much freedom with them.  We just kinda do what we want to do with them.  Some teachers never let their students use them.  I let my students use them all the time, but don't always monitor their learning with them.  I have found that I need to use them more deliberately.  I am spending more time using them for centers/stations with the kids.  One app that I really like is Brownie points, but I am not going to buy the workbooks.  It works fine as a station without all that money spent.  Plus it is going to take them a minute to get through the workbooks that come with it.  We also didn't get any money from the school to buy apps.
