Reminders
- Teach and reteach the rules for ipads in your classroom-especially make sure that all students are taught to be responsible for their ipads. We have had several ipads left unattended in the hallway.
- Make sure your cart is plugged into the wall not into a power strip.
- Make sure you plug and unplug the ipads.
- Lock up the ipads every night
Training Opportunity
Ashley Johnson from the district office can help us in several ways.
- She can come into your classroom and teach a lesson using an app you request.
- She can guide you in how to use a specific app.
- She could show how to integrate an app into several content areas.
- She can watch us teach and give us specific feedback to help improve our teaching with technology
- She can find information about technology (app research and ideas)
If you are interested in using her expertise, please talk to Angela or I and we can help you use her scheduling program. You could also email her to plan a time.
If you are interested in this type of training but would rather have Angela or I we can arrange that also.
