10 important questions to ask before deploying iPads

*Usually, iPad deployment will focus more on budget issues, apps, networking logistics, check-in and check-out procedures, school and district tech-use policies, hardware precautions, and aspects of classroom management.

*To begin thinking more broadly about iPads in an educational environment, consider the following questions.

*Caution: Work with your IT department! iPad’s generate an IP address which many local networks do not recognize. Your IT department may need to manually create and have put on your iPad to work on the network.

1. What are the goals for iPad implementation? Engagement, access to digital textbooks, access to digital environments, primarily media consumption, media production, or a blend of everything?

2. What can the iPad do that is not possible–or is clunky and cumbersome–without it? That is, what learning problems does the iPad solve?

3. What sort of instructional planning are you using–traditional units, project-based learning, game-based learning, or something else? That is, what style of learning are you expecting the iPad to actuate?

4. How should your instructional design and lesson planning be revised as a result of the iPad? What “fail-safes” should be built into activities to ensure learning is possible when the technology misbehaves and doesn’t do what you ask?

5. What is your own comfort level with technology? What digital, physical, and human resources are available when something is needed? 

6. Will the iPad’s use always require special, specific planning? What changes could you make to allow the iPad’s application in the classroom to be more organic and fluid?

7. What is the role of learner in iPad use? Can they choose which apps they use to solve a problem? Suggest better apps for better problem-solving? Switch between tasks, assignments, and activities freely, or a follow-only approach?

8. Is the learning environment you design and manage technology-centered, standards-centered, data-centered, or student-centered?

9. How can you experiment with new instructional styles to take advantage of mobile learning devices in the classroom? For example, quick, open-ended, digital problem-solving competitions that utilize quick bursts of higher-level thinking skills in individual and collaborative arrangements.

*12 Characteristics of

an iPad ready classroom!

Curriculum is… *Adaptive (less rigid)

Learning pathways, embedded differentiation and personalization, culturally and cognitively responsive tasks and work that honors constructivist thinking and doing over passivity and compliance

*Dynamic (less static)Having constant access to constantly changing information and media requires a curriculum that is equally dynamic

*Digital (less physical)Promoting blogging, collaborative project-planning via apps and cloud-based suites, digital presentations through apps like Prezi, curating of complex digital portfolios, etc.

Instruction is…* Student-centered (less teacher or institutionally-centered)

Student as designer and producer, teacher as resource and assessment expert rather than knowledge holder and task-master

* Diverse (less uniform)With access to a nearly infinite number of digital domains, instruction will have to adapt in parallel, including peer-to-peer, student-to-student, school-to-school learning; mastery-based learning via apps such as the Khan Academy 

* Focused on persistent transfer (less focused on “tests”)iPads cater to media consumption and production. Intentional instructional scope-and-sequencing will help promote transfer of standards-mastery through both consumption (reading, viewing, observing) and production (designing, constructing, executing)

Assessment is…* Authentic (less academic)

Seamlessly transfers to physical and digital domains of learner, with useful artifacts, products, and applications in the “real world”

* Frequent & Formative (less intermittent and summative)A climate of assessment that yields simple data digestible to all stakeholders–including the teacher

* Fluid and/or Project-Based (less obsessed with standards and “proficiency”)“Fluid” assessment provides a constant stream from a wide variety of sources and forms. This is possible in Problem-based, Challenge-based, or Community-Based projects that reward innovation, risk-taking, self-awareness, and inductive thinking patterns

Integrated with…*School & District Initiatives (in isolation)

Literacy and Technology plans, extracurricular programs, college-readiness programs, etc.

*Relevant Communities (forced, awkward audiences–for the love of everything, please no more letters to the principals)Digital, Physical, Local, Global

*Apple Ecology (disconnected from other Apple and related ecologies)ITunesU, Macs, Apps, iOS, Apple-friendly apps, etc.
