Merina, Anita. "Managing the Technology Takeover." NEA Today Summer 2013: 21. Print.
Initially approached iPads as supplements to lessons
Didn't realize that what needed to do was rethink lesson plans from an integration perspective
As a creation
Teaching like it 2999 - Blog - 32 iPads in class - initial failure was relying on traditional pedagogy
QUESTION - What can I do w/these devices that would be impossible to do without them?
Increased student as creator experiences - moved from paper to math app games, to students creating own math videos and writing math blogs, to conducting Challenge Based Learning math projects
Also, found apps to assess student learning
TECHNOLOGY IS JUST A CATALYST FOR LEARNING. IT'S STILL THE TEACHER THAT'S KEY.
With tech, the goal is to create projects that do more than deliver info - but also prompt students to THINK and SOLVE
AND for teachers to ASSESS
Use tools for PB approaches - and don't be "afraid" to reexamine teaching
