My Vision

I was thinking about how I see the place of the iPad, and technology in general, at KPS and the best way I could think of to represent it was a mind map. My role as the ICT teacher and as the iPad coordinator are so different. My thinking is, when teaching students ICT, the technology skills are an important part along with teaching students what they can do with technology and how technology can help them develop solutions. iPads can certainly be part of this as a form of technology. When using iPads in classrooms, the focus should be on the content and pedagogy with technology presenting opportunities for creation and engagement. The students are being taught content, they are being taught how to think and learn and they are being shown that the iPad is a very useful tool for doing these things and for helping them articulate and present what they have learned.
