Here are some other general comments you made about the Positives, Minuses, and Interestings
P - interactive, easy to use search system to find apps,I thought it was a great way of learning. It was really fun and a great experience. I think we could use these in other classes as well,a great way of accumulating knowledge and displaying it as well, using the iPad for class experience was really putting it to the test to how an iPad used for recreational purposes most of the time can be used for education through apps, saves a lot of time, doesn't take long to operate, you could be very creative on the iPad, easy to share info with other classmates and see what others came up with for their presentations, I can create anything I desire,
M - the apps aren't very specific to certain Socials topics, no Flash, it freezes a lot when
Everyone is trying to email/blog at the same time, you can not save some things on the iPad and some apps you can not email, sometimes it can be hard to transfer something from one place to another, frustrating when all the work gets deleted, limited as to what apps you can use, not all apps let you save work and some work doesn't actually get saved or could be deleted by other people if not careful, not worth the money-just use lap tops (gets work done faster and better), can't refund bad apps, quite fragile, limited time to use them, takes time and effort to learn how to use all the functions,
I - easier and a different way to learn instead of using worksheets, taking notes, etc,
Different types of apps, Google earth!, animation apps, the school isn't ready for new technology, they are most useful for research, getting textbooks on the iPads, I like the independence, you can do almost anything on the iPad, there were so many ways to visualize the project such as making a mind map, making a quiz, or making an animation,
Positive: It was fun being able to use apps to learn about John A. MacDonald. It was a new and exciting way of learning.
ReplyDeleteMinus: I don' t think that this necessarily benefited my learning. It was definitely more fun, but I don't think that I learned anything extra.
Interesting: I thought it was neat that we had access to the Internet and apps to help understand and learn about John A.

P-a positive experience of this activity was that the. IPads assisted in the productivity of our project very much and also gave many useful tools in creating our presentation.Overall, the experience given by using the iPads was quite well.
ReplyDeleteM-a negative experience is the inevitable bugs that are often in every apple iOS which can be quite annoying at sometimes , especially when you are trying to navigate through apps or saving the projects we did. A better alternative would be android systems for the available word processing applicationsq such as Microsoft word
I-an interesting factor of using these would be that it was really fun and also a refreshing change of pace when using these instead of notes.
