Final Reflection
This course has been a huge learning curve for me especially finding and using appropriate apps for the classroom. It has shown me a variety of ways to use the iPad in a more efficient and user friendly fashion.
The first two modules showed me important skills such as closing apps, selecting text and organising your apps into folders. The built in apps in the iPad are also handy to use and it has been fun exploring the iPads functions.
The Ilearn framework has given me inspiration to incorporate the iPad in a variety of lessons and has opened my eyes to the potential that the iPad has for improving your activities. The multimodal apps I found to be so valuable because you can get the students to complete a task using one app that can cover talking&listening/ writing/reading areas all in one activity.
The Cloud and Dropbox information was interesting and is something I need to explore further. I found that using these to store data is exciting and I am sure it will keep improving and changing through time.
Overall this course has made me think about how to incorporate technology into lessons in a more informed and purposeful way. It has made me think about using the iPad for assessment and teaching concepts in all different topics. I can't wait to use the iPads in the classroom with more excitement and confidence!!
