The Grade 2 Hullabaloo: Finally... The iPad Center

When it was announced earlier this year that each teacher would get a classroom iPad there was a resounding "YESSSSSS!" from our staff meeting. I was so excited for this opportunity and knew there are so many great apps out there. There was only one problem... I had never used an iPad! (Yup, time get with the program Greta!) I also knew I had kids that would be able to use it better than I can (which they do) and some kids who were going to be in the same boat as I was. With the help of our media specialist I started to get the hang of it through some trial and error. When I felt competent enough to share it with the class it was time to set some expectations for using it before I handed it over... which leads me to my primary iPad resource pack!

And here is how I use some of them in my center...

The little spot on my counter for my center. I'm loving the box (kids call it the iPad's bed) because I always know where it is!

I have 3 sets of rules in the pack. I went with the visual set for my kiddos.

My sign is a little funky because I had to make it wrap around the mount for the bulletin board above it.

The *official* iPad pass. Makes it easy for me to see which kid I have given permission to because I forget! If you aren't wearing the iPad pass, you don't touch the iPad.
