 * Session: 36. Stepping into the Future: A Practical Guide to the Educational Uses of iPads and iTouches in the Classroom**
 * Presenter: Sarah FrazziniKendrick**
 * School: Manlius Pebble Hill**


 * Description:**

Come hear what we are doing to integrate iPads and iTouches into curriculum and instruction at Manlius Pebble Hill. In our fifth grade classroom, we have a set of twenty iPads, which we have worked to incorporate into our curriculum and daily lessons. In this workshop, I will share methods of managing and supporting the technology within the classroom, including updating software, syncing iPads with iTunes accounts, and downloading applications. We will discuss educational Apps available in the Apple Store and examine how the touch technology enhances classroom learning. Additionally, we will examine both the limitless possibilities of touch technology and the practical incorporation of touch technology on a budget. Participants should come prepared to share ideas, questions, and hopes for this technology.

After taking this workshop, participants will learn management techniques for Apple touch technology in a classroom, and see examples of student work completed on the iPads. We will also discuss the process of becoming a digital classroom, including challenges and opportunities. Participants will leave feeling more comfortable introducing iPads/iTouches into the daily curriculum.

Instructions for attendees: Bring iPad, iTouch, or iPhone, if you have one!
