What a great experience for myself, our staff, our school and especially our students, being part of the iPad Project has been. It has generated enthusiasm, participation and learning as well as become a great PR for advocating our school media program.
I work with all the students on a partial flex/open schedule and initially asked parents to supply headphones or earbuds when we launched the project. Next year they are included on our school supply lists. When parents and visitors walk through the media center and see students involved and using the iPads they are in awe and most times stop to see what we are doing or comment on it. I have had parents comment that their child "was so upset he would be out and missed his media lesson and couldn't use the iPad this week." Another parent, told me the first thing her child tells them when they get home is what they did on the iPad that day. A group of parents at our Kindergarten Round-Up toured the media center and were amazed and very impressed when they saw the students involved in using the iPads.
Best of all, I have seen outstanding results in the work and products the students are doing, by simplly using the iPads over traditional computers and books. Getting kids to research and find facts, at times is like pulling teeth. They would often tell me how "the book doesn't say" or it's not there and need assistance to point out the facts they were looking for. Although I still use tradition print and written sources with them, using the iPads for first grade animal research and fourth grade has shown a dramatic improvement in the quality and quantity of facts the students were able to find. When I questioned them as to why this was they commented, "because it's fun", "it's easier to find" and "I like doing it this way." Whatever it takes to capitalize and improvement student learning, IT WORKED!
While this year has been a learning curve for both myself and the students, I am looking forward to next year, and over the summer plan on developing numerous lessons and units for each of the grade levels that will incoporate using the iPads in collaborative units of instruction with our students.
