[Offtopic] Ipads

[Williams, Rachael J]

Hi Joyce,

 

We  rolled out 150 iPads to year 7 students December last year for use
in the classroom this year.

So far these are going really well. 

 

Regards,

Rachael

Hi all

 

Is anyone using ipads in the classroom?  Do you have a class set for
students to use?  If so, is it possible for our e-learning co-ordinator
to visit your school to see how they are being used?  

 

Thanks in advance.

 

As an aside, regarding DER Funding are Ipads considered a "computer"?  

 

Thanks

Joyce

A great citizen science project that kicks off today. Regards Roland
"Light pollution is obscuring people's long-standing natural heritage to
view stars. The GLOBE at Night program is an international
citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of
light pollution by encouraging everyone everywhere to measure local
levels of night sky brightness and contribute observations online to a
world map. All it takes is a few minutes to participate between 8-10 pm,
February 21 through March 6. Your measurements will make a world of
difference. Read More..."
