Management Tips and Ideas
Having so many iPads in one classroom can be difficult to manage. Consider the following as you attempt to manage iPads 2:1 or 1:1 in your classroom...
- Assign each iPad a number.
- Assign each student a particular iPad.
- Students should be responsible for the pick up and return of iPads to a cart.
- Control the flow of students in your classroom by only allowing a few to be out of their seat to pick up/return their iPads at a time.
- Clearly identify the apps that students have permission to use during a given lesson.
- Establish and consistently enforce consequences for utilizing "off-limits" apps during a lesson.
- You may choose to assign a particular iPad to a particular desk and not allow students to walk around with their iPad at all.
- Model technology skills as needed so students do not reach their frustration level.
