Written by A while ago I wrote about the great benefits for teachers using iPads in the classroom. Clearly there are benefits for students too. One of them being that the iPad is quick to boot, rarely has network issues, and doesn’t lock up (knocking on wood).
It is that time of year again when we need to plan for next year’s technology needs. Our laptops carts have served us for few years, but are now at the end of their usable life. Yes, they still function, but the amount of time needed to maintain them is starting to tip in the wrong direction. Our fingers are crossed that the funding will come through for a cart of iPads.
In the case of a seven year old, we can get rid of the monster in the back for the tiny thing in front.
Seven year olds don’t have much time to wait around for broken things to start working. They need whatever it is they need right now, not in 2 minutes, not in 30 seconds, but now. The laptops we’ve been using have proven that a 2 minute delay leads to management issues that detract from the lesson. I think there’s a solution. Drop the laptop carts for iPads. There are countless articles about the benefits of the little tablet and I hope to be blogging about the benefits at this time next year. We’ll see.
