Blooms Taxonomy for iPads

iPads expand time and space in schoolsWritten by Monica Rhor - districtadministration.com
More schools using iPads and other tablets to break down traditional learning barriers. Visit the classrooms of Burlington High School in the Burlington (Mass.) Public School District and you’ll see the school’s two-year-old 1-to-1 iPad initiative in action. Some students might be taking notes using Evernote, rather than pen and paper. Others may be translating and recording first-aid terms for a Spanish lesson. A music class could be rehearsing with the Garage Band app. The iPads, used by the school’s teachers and 1,100 students, have replaced traditional foreign language labs and allowed the school to reduce the number of computer labs. They are used to create video lectures and class projects. The school even received approval from the College Board to use iPads for the spring 2013 advanced placement Spanish exam. |
