iPad Trial in Education - Kingston Grammar School | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From mattbritland.com - May 30, 2013 10:25 PM
Beth Dichter's insight:

The Kingston Grammar School began an iPad Trial in Sept. 2012. Their ICT Director, Matt Brittland, designed evaluations of the process and has just published a detailed report. Links to the following items are available from this website.

* iPad Report (2012-2013 - full report)

* iPad Trial: Launching to Heads of Departments (presentation)

* iPad Launch to all Staff - Inset: How it Worked (Resources Included)

* How to Evaluate iPad Use in Education

* Lots of iPad Video Tutorials

The final report provides graphs of evaluations from teachers and students. If your school is considering bringing in iPads take the time to review these materials.

Apple's iPad Textbooks Cost 5x More Than Print : The Education Business Blog

Apple's iPad Textbooks Cost 5x More Than Print : The Education Business Blog | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.educationbusinessblog.com - March 3, 2012 8:40 PM

All the sweet promises Apple is making are going to slam headfirst into the funding issue. It will cost a school 552% more to implement iPad textbooks than it does to deploy books. That ain't happening in THIS economy. The press reports I've seen have completely missed this because Apple "hand waved" their way around it.

I chose this resource to inform me about the latest technology trends.

 

There are alternatives to Apple products, like Chromebooks that are just as good if not better in an educational setting.

 

Principals should be aware of costs and utilize tech as much as possible.

The iPad may only be two years old, but it's already begun to change many things. Reading is one of them. Work is another. It is selling like crazy, but it will be some time before most of the people you know own a tablet.
