Examples of How to Use the iPads to Support Learning

Today we will be sharing some examples of how iPads can be used in the classroom to encourage interaction and support teaching and learning.

For the following examples we owe a big thank you to Terri Long in Children, Care and Education.

“I have been using ‘Showme’ in class, this allows students to carry out independent research into a topic, and then create an interactive slide show they can then share with their peers. Learners have enjoyed the interactive aspects of this App, particularly in how they are able to use the voice record facilities along with the drawing app to create visual representations of the ideas they have discovered.

Socrative – Student Response Quizzes, etc.

Socrative is a tool which teachers and students can use in conjunction. It utilises self-made quizzes, multiple choice options and several other aspects which can make the classroom a much more interactive place.

Below is an introductory video into the world of Socrative and how it can benefit you.
