Links to evaluation of iPads in the classroom
Middle school teacher from Maine talks about their experience in the state's 1:1 program
Technology at Montclair Kimberley Academy provides dynamic, effective tools to support curriculum and instruction, communication and professional development in ways that promote learning for today’s students. The use of technology as an effective teaching and learning tool is a key curricular and instructional focus that is exciting and engaging to both students and faculty on all three MKA campuses.
"My rubric also emphasizes the ability to customize content or settings and how the app encourages the use of higher order thinking skills. Admittedly, there are good apps that are not customizable and focus on lower order thinking skills. Factor Samurai, for example, is a fantastic game for identifying prime and composite numbers. It would be nice if the app had flexibility to adjust difficultly, but it's still a good app if it is relevant to the learning purpose."

Last year, with a fearless group of 10th graders in Katrina Kennett’s English class at Plymouth South High School, we attempted to transform the traditional research process to a completely paperless one using a fresh new cart of iPads.
As I have written previously about iPads in the classroom, our decision to use iPads did not start with iPads, it started with learning goals and objectives. We later determined that iPads would fit into the equation.
The 4 Goals
A few of the goals that we outlined prior to the research process included:
- Students will crowd-source their research to a collective research group.
- Students will incorporate varied media types into their research: web based text, traditional text, audio and video.
- Students will work collaboratively with their teacher and classmates on their research and writing process.
- Students will become proficient researching and writing in a digital environment."
