Introduction to iPads in Schools: Let's Begin - Ed Bianichi (Presentation at VTFest 2011)
Creation versus Consumption -Scott Meech (@smeech)
Presentation Description: Many argue that the iPad is the premiere consumption device at this time but it isn’t very good at creating. I want to walk through some thoughts to battle that thinking. Creating on the iPad is different but it is an effective creation device. The very nature of the device itself and how we interface with it provide for a uniquely creative environment. Effectively creating on the iPad requires a different workflow from traditional computers. Once users get proficient with that workflow, the iPad becomes an amazing creation device!
Will Ferriter: "check out the #ipaded hashtag on Twitter. That's a constantly updated stream of information being curated by other educators who are interested in using iPads in the classroom"
"Patrick Larkin -- the principal of Burlington High School in Massachusetts -- whose school is heavily engaged in a 1:1 iPad project...shared this collection of posts from his blog detailing the iPad deployment at Burlington High. It's a GREAT resource for school leaders interested in the nitty-gritty of 1:1 projects with iPads. He also shared this collection of iPad resources being maintained by the technology team in the Burlington Public Schools.
