How to breath life and increased performance back into an iPad that has become slow and sluggish | Ipads Advisor

How to breath life and increased performance back into an iPad that has become slow and sluggish | Ipads Advisor | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
From www.ipadsadvisor.com - June 27, 2015 7:01 AM
So, you have actually obtained an iPad and it’s beginning to get a little sluggish on you. Quit me if this sound familiar- first, you do your ideal to maximize as significantly storage space as you can collect by erasing old, unused apps. Next off, you determine to unload your photo collection and information to iCloud, or whatever other preferred cloud service you choose. Still not enough? While these are really user-friendly, and also helpful actions, there are still a couple of added approaches available to you to bring your iPad back to life and make it seem like it’s a newer device once more. In no particular order …

5 Critical Mistakes Schools Make With iPads (And How To Correct Them) | Reality

5 Critical Mistakes Schools Make With iPads (And How To Correct Them) | Reality | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
From www.edudemic.com - December 26, 2014 7:17 PM

Focusing on iPad-versus.-laptop comparisons stifles the ability to see how the iPad facilitates student-centered learning. iPads are devices meant to compliment computers, not replace them.

So, people who seek equivalent functionality become frustrated, and fail to realize the intrinsic benefits and features of the iPad’s native design.

 

Instead, schools should focus their energies on what iPads do best to engender active learning. iPads enable students to kinesthetically connect with their work (especially important for young learners). These tactile elements – using fingers to zoom, rotate in, pinch close, or swipe across – as well as increasingly interactive and immersive apps, facilitate hands-on learning.

Teacher’s use of iPads in higher education

Teacher’s use of iPads in higher education | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
From www.tandfonline.com - October 23, 2014 5:33 PM

Teacher’s use of iPads in higher education.  Daniel Churchill & Tianchong Wang

 


Mobile devices (e.g. iPads or galaxy tab) are increasingly being used in educational contexts. There has been growing investment in higher education institutions in Hong Kong by the HKSAR Education Bureau in relation to educational uses of mobile technology. However, current research into educational applications of this technology is limited. This article reports results of a qualitative study that investigated how higher education teachers use iPads to facilitate their practice. The study results provide insight into both the educational affordances of iPad technology and the ways in which teachers’ personal or private theories mediate these affordances. The study outcomes contribute to theoretical understanding of higher education teacher changes through adoption of mobile technology. Furthermore, the outcomes provide a set of recommendations for applications of iPads and similar technologies in higher education and ways to support teachers to effectively adopt such technology in their practices.

Tablets fall out of favour in NSW classrooms

Tablets fall out of favour in NSW classrooms | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
From www.smh.com.au - August 20, 2014 10:40 PM
Once hailed as the poster child of digital interactive learning, tablets are falling increasingly out of favour in NSW schools.
Peter Mellow's insight:

I would really like to see 'how' they used the devices in the classroom. I can see this as another case of blame the technology (device) rather than the learning design for the activities.

 

I would have thought that a device with a range of scientific instruments included in it (gyroscope, accelerometer, two cameras), would be more useful for collecting and reporting on data/events than a keyboard with a screen. Sounds like a typewriter vs an educational swiss army knife to me.

 

Do we want our children to be able to ask the right questions with inquiry based learning or be able to type 40 words a minute?

I often hear of stories where students have a preferred app for a particular task.  Learning activities should be inclusive of this approach as it enables student engagement, which as this author says 'cant be a bad thing'.
Marissa Mendonca's curator insight, November 7, 2014 6:51 PM

I liked what this had to say about how the use of iPads really does get the students to be more engaged in learning. Whether it makes a huge difference in test scores or not it is still a huge accomplishment to have your students engaged and interested in learning.
