6. Why
iPad for the Classroom
To be successful when using technology in education, it is important to focus on:
1- Engagement
2- Creativity
3- Inquiry-based learning.
Because of these demands iPads became a critical part of the learning process. The point of using an iPad in the classroom shouldn’t be simply to use the digital
device, but to provide a tool to aid learning, as this will empower learners to engage in the transformation of learning experiences, which would not be possible
without iPad technology.
Why iPad?
- A relief for students from heavy book bags.
- Ability to use thousands of educational applications that teach students while
ensuring that they are fully engaged, paying attention, and having fun at the
same time. This makes students LOVE learning.

20. iPad management in classroom
Wireless Network:
◦iPads apps require direct access to the web (no login). Will your iPads connect through a separate wireless network that allows them to pass through directly?
◦Will you create a separate policy that identifies iPads on your existing wireless network and treats them differently?
◦Will they be subject to existing web filtering when browsing or will you need to consider adding a web filter to your network?
Group Device Management:
◦Where will devices be stored and charged?
◦Will you use a mobile cart?
◦Do you have a clearly defined procedure for distributing and collecting the iPads?
◦Do you have a clearly defined Acceptable Use Policy? Has it been communicated to students and parents?
◦How will you deal with issues such as damage or theft?
◦Do you have a set procedure for how and when the iPads will be synchronized and updated?
◦Are your IT staff trained on the technology and care of mobile devices such as iPads?
Individual Device management
◦How will you identify each iPad? Some options include using a sticker, screen wallpaper image or engraving.
◦Will you use earbuds? Earbuds can be very helpful if they are listening to media in class. If you plan on using them you’ll probably want each student to have their own pair rather than
share them.
Application Purchase and Management
◦How will apps be purchased and distributed? Will you purchase, manage and synchronize to one central account or different accounts?
◦Will you use multiple accounts for individual teachers, classrooms and/or departments? Remember that you can synchronize to multiple accounts on any individual computer.
◦Will teachers be given permission to install apps on their iPads and/or student iPads?
◦Who will manage purchases with Apple’s volume purchasing plan? The VPP grants around a 50% discount on volume app purchases and is legally required if you plan on synchronizing and
distributing apps to sets of iPads.

21. iPad Classroom Management
System from MSCT
LanSchool classroom management software is a critical component to teacher effectiveness and student achievement in any 21st century classroom. With LanSchool
teachers can demonstrate skills, monitor student progress, remove distractions and assess student progress.

management system for all of your computing platforms.
Teachers are faced with the challenge and opportunity of using technology
to make a difference in students’ lives.
Technology should enable education, not inhibit it.
