Teaching with the iPad

Chuck Konkol

The hardest thing about learning something new is that first step. You have had the iPad for awhile now and deep down you know you could be using it as a tool in the classroom but you didn’t know where to start. Hopefully, this session will inspire to take that first step into using your iPad in the classroom. As a college professor of mine used to say, “Diligence breeds success”!

The iPad is the ranked #1 in emerging technology for educational applications, textbooks, and communication tools.

Textbooks

All major publishers have worked with Apple in the K-12 market and are beginning the college market.

Teachers currently have the ability to create their own textbook for the iPad using Apple iAuthor.

Textbooks are dynamically updated as textbook is modified on the Apple Store. No longer having to wait until next book version for latest data.

Textbooks

Hundreds of High Schools, Colleges and Universities (2-4 year) now require iPads for teachers and students to use iPads.

According to the American Graduate Initiative Community Colleges are to graduate 5,000,000 more graduates. iPads will help us get there!

RVC had an iPad Pilot Program for Fall 2013 semester.

iPad Perception is Positive

iPad Perception is Positive

March 2012 survey by the Pearson Foundation and Harris Interactive

Tablet ownership among college students and high school seniors has risen dramatically in the last year—ownership has tripled among college students (25% vs. 7% in 2011) and quadrupled among high school seniors (17% vs. 4% in 2011).

iPad Perception is Positive

The survey reveals that more students are reading digital books, and that a majority of college students (63%) and high school seniors (69%) believe that tablets will effectively replace textbooks within the next five years.

One of the biggest reasons tablets are so popular on college campuses is the fact that they give students convenient access to digital textbooks, or e-books, whether they are pursuing classroom-based or online education.
