I cannot imagine not having them in my classroom. I love them and so do the students. Every child in your class has an iPad? Did the parents have to buy them?<br /><br />April<br /><a href="http://wolfelicious.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wolfelicious</a>Wolfelicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00732694615597621109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394037286947595820.post-47776814708928728452012-04-08T19:02:49.049-07:002012-04-08T19:02:49.049-07:00Sue, Great post!

I am about to get iPads for my class as part of a district grant that I applied for. I am stunned by all of the naysayers. BUT I truly believe my students will flourish using iPads. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!<br />Camille<br /><a href="http://camillesopendoor.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">An Open Door</a>Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944280556679586400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394037286947595820.post-64557030536830531582011-05-23T01:20:11.365-07:002011-05-23T01:20:11.365-07:00Hi there.

We have been using iPods for the last year and a half and have found it as a great tool for the children to explore with.<br /><br />Here is an article of TEchnology that was written last year.<br /><br />http://www.nzherald.co.nz/mac-planet/news/article.cfm?c_id=1502175&objectid=10689531Pmanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011974800048561092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394037286947595820.post-7810611307025373222011-04-25T16:27:31.843-07:002011-04-25T16:27:31.843-07:00Nedra,

If I get to a 1:1 model that would be lovely, but at this point I utilize apps that are good and preferably free more than whether they have reports for me to view. Apps that I can think of that utilize reports for parents/teachers are the Teach Me: K/1st series, there are apps affiliated with Smart Tots like ABC smart (although none of them are ones I love-yet) that send reports to the parent/teacher too.<br /><br />I agree about the size of the ipad vs. ipods... for using them as books and writing tools the bigger size is better.DigitalKindergartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909243923628565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394037286947595820.post-90148614254247210012011-04-25T14:51:15.250-07:002011-04-25T14:51:15.250-07:00I just discovered your site while working on a gra...I just discovered your site while working on a grant to try and get some iPads for my reading room. I work with Kdg-2nd graders. I use iPod Touches but find the screens are often too small for their little fingers. Do you try to find apps that give you feedback on the student's progress or do you not worry about that? <br />Thank you for app reviews they will be very helpful.Nedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478804456508636392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394037286947595820.post-32586770505141505072011-04-17T04:52:05.696-07:002011-04-17T04:52:05.696-07:00Hi,
