Getting Started With iPad

 Did you just get a new iPad for yourself or receive on to use for work or have one sent home from school for your child to use to complete distance learning school work? Not quite sure how to get started with the iPad, navigate between screens, or use key apps?

I created these videos to help teachers, students, support staff, and families who are new to using an iPad learn about some of the key iPad features.

Presenting at Minnetonka Technology Institute

I will be presenting a session on Making Learning Visible with the iPad at the Minnetonka Technology Institute and will focus on how to use a variety of free and low cost screencasting apps on the iPad that can be used to make teacher instruction more visual for learners and student learning more visible for teachers and parents.

I'm looking forward to networking and connecting with colleagues and educators interested in using iPads in the classroom to enhance and support student learning.

iPad Training - Basic Introduction Level

I created this handout for an upcoming training on iPads for participants who have never used an iPad before or who have very little use of one. Due to bandwidth limitations, we also are not able to have participants download any apps to the iPads during the initial training. Given those parameters, you can see the outline of the training below that I came up with. This training will focus on the basic functions and settings of the iPad to try to familiarize users with those so that they know where to go later and how to make changes in the settings.

Additional trainings will be offered later on a set of core apps that has been identified. I spent a lot of time trying to think about how to ensure that the training was dynamic and engaging given that we would not be able to demonstrate any flashy cool apps.

Feedback welcomed.
