Why should you use iPads as part of learning centers?  How does it work?

Management Tips and Ideas

How to set up iPads as part of learning centers:
  • Choose an app that purposefully targets a skill for instruction or review.
  • Post clear instructions at the station to explain how the iPads are to be used.
  • Have students prepare the station for the next group of students by restarting the app so that it will be a clean slate.
  • Remember that your station does not require a 1:1 ratio of iPad use.  You could engage students in activities using 1 iPad per station/small group and have 5 groups,  or you could have 1 station of 5 iPads.
How to teach the handling and care of iPads in learning centers:
  • Explicitly review how to handle the iPads safely.
  • Students should not pick up the iPads; they should leave them on the desk during and after use.
  • The teacher should set up the stations and include clear, written instructions at each station.
