The presence of handheld technologies in the classroom isn't enough
- you need to know how to use them to enhance teaching and
transform learning. As more and more primary schools acquire
devices such as iPads and tablets, it is becoming clear that adding
them as a classroom resource is not enough. Teachers and trainees
need strategies to integrate these into existing learning contexts
in a meaningful way. Without this, these fantastic resources lose
their value. This book helps teachers to make the most of these
devices in the primary classroom. It offers guidance on: how to use
tablets to devise meaningful learning activities embed them in
genuine curriculum contexts, drawing upon case studies from
existing practice It is written for non-specialists and explains
technical terms in an accessible, practical way. Each chapter
begins with a case study contributed by a teacher using tablets in
schools. Real life examples and comments like this give the text a
truly practical focus. The book's Pinterest board includes the apps
mentioned in the book as well as a handy infographic for a snapshot
guide on starting off your tablet teaching journey. A note from the
authors The use of technology in schools continues to evolve
rapidly as new devices and tools become available, and the adoption
of mobile devices such as iPads and tablets has been a particularly
exciting development in recent years. The benefits offered by these
technologies, such as their portability, connectivity,
accessibility and range of media, present new challenges and
opportunities for teaching and learning. As the take up of tablets
gathers pace in our schools there is a need for advice on the best
approaches and apps to help achieve successful learning outcomes.
Teachers need to find meaningful ways to integrate the devices into
their own practice and to evaluate which of the many thousands of
educational apps might be appropriate for their pupils. This book
considers how iPads and tablets can be used to enhance teaching and
learning in primary schools. It is especially relevant in the light
of the computing curriculum, which puts a new emphasis on children
as makers and creators of digital content. Across other curriculum
subjects too, the introduction of mobile devices that can be
quickly and reliably accessed has precipitated a shift in practice.
For example, they have enabled teachers and children to
spontaneously pursue lines of inquiry, to connect, collaborate and
publish in many different ways, and to use their digital skills to
enhance their exploration of the physical world outside the
classroom. With these opportunities in mind, we offer anecdotes
from the classroom and examples of how tablets might be embedded
within current pedagogy and practice as a natural learning tool.
Each chapter combines a practical case study with discussion of
related pedagogy, and recommends apps to support a personalised,
inclusive and active approach to teaching and learning.
