How teachers are using iPads in the classrooms

These are only a few of the ways teachers are incorporating iPads into their classrooms. In the not to far off future iPads will rule the classrooms and 90% maybe even 100% of the work will be completed from the iPads. Below are some ways to use the iPads in the classroom. - Digital Field Trip- Have students create a digital field trip while on a field trip. Make sure it is ok with the place you are visiting. Have the student record themselves and them explaining what they are seeing. This works great for students who were unable to attend. It also helps the students conducting the field trip get engaged with what they are learning about. - Teachers can find apps for all content areas, plus more. A teacher can organize all the different content areas into their own folder. - Socrative helps the teacher get students to interact during class time. Using Socrative students are able to answer the questions teachers have and then the teacher is able to see the student answers. They upload onto the teachers computer. Socrative is easy to upload and use. - Using Snapguide helps with students and the copyright issue. Snapguide only uploads free images. This would be a good time to teach the students about copyright. -The Wet-Dry-Try app deals with Handwriting without Tears. It works with children and learning to write their letters and numbers. As I stated before there are so many apps and ways to incorporate iPads into the classroom. I will attach websites to help your search go smooth in finding ideas on how to use iPads in the classroom.
