Fun iPads

I think that the idea of having the iPads is fun. The good thing is that in exhibition we can research on iPads, we can write the homework, etc.
I rally love iPad time!!!!

Finally, we are working independently! ... Somewhat :)

After the first three days of uploading apps., linking resource sites to our i Pad screens, and adding our email accounts, the students are now working independently! They are using the i Pads to blog about the i Pads, research on the internet their exhibition topic using encyclopedias, newspapers, and databases, send emails to their exhibition mentor, create documents in Google Docs, copy paste bibliography citations from Easy Bib to Google Docs, preview their Google Sites, write their homework assignments in Notes, read comics about cyber-safety and cyber-bullying, practice math and language skills using a variety of apps., watch educational videos from Brain Pop and send me emails of screen shots of their work. There are so many directions that the students can go, that I will need to plan differently!

iPads

A few days ago we got the iPads. I feell very exited because that way we could have more use of technology for our future. When we stared using the iPads we got all exited. I feel ver y glad we have the ipads

I Pads" we need more"

We loved the I Pads. They are a great leRning experience but we do not have enough for all the clas. We hope we can get more so we have enough for each person during the exhibition. I think this is a great learning experience. I think this isnvery great. I love doing new things with technology . I learned lots of new things that I would like to try on other things. I think having I Pads is a great experience for the class so we can learn new things.

WOW!!!!!

WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!
The iPads are awesome it is a very good learnig experience and let's you learn much more with the
Tecnologie of the school.We are experimenting with them we are learning a lotnfrom them we are going to use them
For our exhibition and it is a very good tool to use fornthe information. And steel we are going to experiment more.

Each of us needs an iPad

When you think that our class has iPads it is incredible, but not every one thinks so. Apple gave 5C 16 iPads and two people do not have one so we need to share with those people but not just only one person all of the class.

iPad

I am really exited about the iPad and the opportunity the school is giving us to learn more about it by using it for education ,I think is fun and interesting to learn through the iPads because we can learn new things and modernize the school technology and that is a really big step for schools to have more education through technology.

I pads are awsome

I am having lots of fun learning with the i pads. This is really helping me for my exhibition topic that it is access to technology, and working with the i pads is really helping me see how technology helps in education. I am very happy!
When I got my IPad on Tuesday, I was really excited. I thnk tha the devices will help us a lot during class time. They will also make students have fun and learn at the same time.

iPads!

iPads are awesome! You can learn in a fun way and every one wants to do it. I am excited to have iPads here in school I am learning a lot of new things. I hope many people think like me and I hope we keep using them next year.

iPads for everyone

I think all of our class needs an iPad because a lot of people are having descosions and people have two of them and do not tell ms. Tj and I think every one should share with Iinaki and Antonia so not me and someone else is deco using

Ipads

I think that ipads are really going to help us in the future and will not only make class easier but more fun as well. If we use the ipads properly this will be a tool n which we will be able to rely on a lot

GO IPADS

Greetings

Dear 5C,

After the wait I hope you are enjoying the Ipads. I hope you learn tons!!!

Good Luck

Mr. Evan
Thank you 5C for including me in this exciting adventure with IPads. I am curious to see how the exhibition will turn out with this great tool.
Miss Cindy

I pads I think they are a great way to learn!

iPads

We just got the iPads. They are very cool. I have learned that an iPad (iTouch, etc.) can not only be used for games and music, but for educational purposes too! Cool isn't it?

At last something fun

The iPads are really fun and they can be really useful to teach and to learn. Many people will do there homework with motivation. I really have a lot of fun with the iPads. They are a good resource.

IPads

I think it was a very good idea for our class to have the IPads so that we can explore the technology and I think it's also a vey good way to learn.

Ipads

I am very happy with this two month iPad trial! I think that education with technology is great because that way students get to learn how to use technology and also get to learn scholar things. Students also get motivated to do homework on iPads instead of plain boring paper worksheets that just kill trees and bore students, and if they are motivated to do do homework on their iPads, there will be less students that don't turn in their homework and also the kids in the world will be smarter and also have good grades.
And also remember... Work and homework kill trees. Technology doesn't!



-empobla-
I'm very excited that we have the iPads. I am very excited because I think that it's great that we get the chance to experiment with the technology. With the iPads we get to learn many different things with fun and creative apps. And we get to have fun exploring in the iPads. I also think that it's a great opportunity that we get to use them for the exhibition!! I'm looking forward to the iPads to learn so much more!!

I pads

I think the I pads are a very good way of learning. It is a much better way of learning and we can send e-mails from it and view emails.

Awesome

These iPads are great :)

What I Think About Ipads

I feel like the Ipads are a better way of learning because you can do all you can do in your school notebook, and even more, such as research, as get in your mail at Safari, play games about school, and even more. Now the Ipads are much fun because we can use it for many things and we Williams learn much more about technology.

IPads

Yesterday we got the IPads. It was very exciting to get them and exploring them was e ven more exciting.
I feel it was a very idea becuase it helps me connect with the world.

First Day with iPads!


Today, the students received the iPads that we have been so patiently waiting for this year. There was a lot of excitement in the air, as the students opened the boxes. Unfortunately, we only received 16, but since a few students have been bringing their iPads from home, only a couple had to share.

We spent the first half hour exploring the apps that were already on the iPads. Some iPads had a large collection of apps such as Scrabble, Elements, Pages, and Garage Band, while others did not have anything. It was evident that we needed to somehow make the apps. available on the different iPads more uniform. Students began to download a collection of apps. that I thought would be useful in class and FREE. These apps. were then organized in folders. The applications downloaded included:
