Blog Day 15- A Beginner in training...

Teaching with the iPad

Some of you may know already, but this coming school year I will be teaching with an iPad.  All students will have their own iPad instead of a laptop.  I have learned some new apps to help students show their understanding, but they aren't JUST for learning the information.  They are made for them to enhance their learning.  I am still curious to see what expectations need to be met for typing an essay though.  My 8th graders write two research papers and type other essays all year.  I am not quite sure how we will tackle it.

Options are:
Speech to text and then the students edit that work
purchasing keyboards (not all students can afford or buy them)


Any advice?

  1. I have no advice on this journey you're about to embark on, my friend! Speech to text sounds like a good place to start! I thought the school would buy the keyboards, but no?
