Just read this article: http://www.edudemic.com/2012/09/5-critical-mistakes-schools-ipads-and-correct-them/ It's made me realise that I've got to ensure all staff have a goal for using their iPad in a lesson. I'll put some of my teaching ideas down here and see if anyone would like some help with them. 1. Camera - taking videos or photos for work samples and feedback to students. - students taking photos for examples - students taking videos for instructions on how to use/implement something - Students making up a song/rap/dance to remember a concept/formula and videoing it Instructions on how to use the camera are here on the staff day PDF: http://ictlinksforteachers.weebly.com/ipads.html 2. Garage Band - Making raps/songs about concepts - recording copyright-free backing music for videos - recording speeches with the option of adding sound effects, backing sounds or music - ability to change vocal quality to imitate different characters - recording songs created by the students 3. Instructional videos - I use Knowmia Teach http://www.knowmia.com/teachers There is also Explain Everything http://www.explaineverything.com/ - I have been using this to make instructional videos for Music Theory. Then the students have been working at their own pace through exercises. - Students can also make instructional videos as assessments or simply to ensure they understand a concept. Hope these inspire! |
