Assignment+7

What impact do you expect to see as a result of using this technology in the classroom? I think students will be more engaged with their learning and be more eager to learn new things. Kids that might not be interested in a topic will be more likey to partcipate if they have the opportunity to explore with technology such as the ipad. Even if i never was able to get ipads for my classroom, i have learned of many new valuable tools such as prezi that they can use in the class as well.

How do you plan to continue to use your iPad in your personal life? Professional life? The iPad has been a life saver for my daughter on trips and at home! Mira has already claimed it by saying "mine" her second favorite word to "no." My husband and i can both use it to surf the web instead of fighting over our one laptop. Professionally, i can use it in so many ways. I already downloaded the powerschool app which is great to have to be able to enter grades when I can't access my computer.

What have you learned from others' sharing that you would like to try or explore more of? Many of the apps that were shared I could use in my professional life such as docs to go. I also liked many of the apps that kids can use. Its always nice to hear about them first instead of buying them and not liking them.

Describe the presentation you gave today and the application you shared / demonstrated. I walked through my entire wiki and all assignments. The applications that i shared were pages, numbers, and keynote all of which are similar to Microsoft Office software. In marketing, students create many projects and powerpoints and thought all of these apps would be very useful in my class and other similar classes.
