General Description

Seven years ago I implemented the first generation iPads into my classroom. This eventuated into a journey of whole class use; individualisation; and then sharing that experience with other educators. I wrote my first iPad course in 2011 and ten years on, it’s worth re-examining the use of iPads in the classroom. iPads, (or any other tool for that matter) is NOT meant to replace GOOD teaching and evidence based practice; so this course looks at what the research is saying; what is evidence based practice; and provides strategies for appropriate use. This course will refer to apps but the focus will be on effective educational use of the device rather than an examination of a range of apps.

Audience

All educators interested in implementing iPads into their classroom.
