I love that I got to bring home the Dell Notebook and IPad to "play" with this summer. THANK YOU, Karen, for letting us have them over the summer. There's nothing like having down time to play and learn, so I didn't have to watch the videos on the 11 Tools page to learn how to use these electronics. I can't wait to use my IPad as I walk around the room to take roll or homework grades because I can do it electroically through our gradebook rather than doing it with pencil and paper and then having to transfer the info. into the computer later for parents to see.
I much prefer the Ipad to the Itouch since the screen is bigger and documents can be typed into Google Docs. Best of all, I like the size of the Dell notebook. It's easy to carry and simple to use. Then I won't have to undock my laptap when I go to staff meetings or want to type while I'm in a coworker's room planning lessons.
Glad you got the mini to work! It makes a difference knowing what the kids will experience!
ReplyDeleteI think we will be asking PTA for more ipads! I'd love to see kids doing individual skyping activities!
