Module 1: Exploring The IPad

This module has shown many tricks on how to use the IPad more efficiently and effectively. The first part of the module explores iBooks which I haven't used before and they will be a great resource in the classroom especially for reading groups. Using the dictionary and note function is also a great resource for students to look up a word they don't know and it encourages them to use their own dictionary skills.

The module also demonstrated how to close apps that are open and I didn't realise having these opened uses battery. Looking at and downloading different apps is a handy skill for teachers which I haven't had much experience with and I am getting more familiar with the process. I also found the IPad's built in apps handy to use such as notes to create 'to do' lists that are always a part of teachers lives. Organising the apps into folders is a great way to place them in KLA folders for the students to use easily and you know the activities they are using on the IPad are appropriate. The IPad camera/video information gave me more ideas on how I can use the camera in a variety of ways.

This module was a great introduction in using the IPad's basic functions and getting you familiar with using a variety of apps.
