This document discusses resources for using iPads in a 1-to-1 classroom for VCE Psychology at Sacre Coeur school. It includes a description of the school's iPad program and infrastructure. Several apps and tools are proposed for creating interactive eBooks, facilitating flipped learning, conducting experiments, creating flashcards, presentations, and sharing files between students and teachers. The goal is to foster a more visual and participatory approach to learning that extends beyond the classroom.

- 1. Resources for the 1-to-1 classroom Andrew Scott Sacre Coeur See my website for a variety of eresources for the VCE Psychology classroom www.ePsychVCE.com
- 2. Preamble • Sacre Coeur – is located in Glen Iris • We have @ 500 students in our senior school • In 2013: Year 9 & 10 are 1-to-1 iPads (purchased out of DER funding) • All staff who teach year 9 or 10 have school provided iPads • We have 8 Apple TV’s connected to either data projectors of big screen tv’s • Year 11 – have notebooks (purchased in 2010 from DER funding) • 2014: tbc – based largely on anecdotal evidence provided by key stakeholders, particularly given our DER funds have dried up • BYOD is under discussion
- 3. My angle/ my vision • No Unit ½ textbook this year! (30% of Unit 1 students are Year 10 with iPads) • No Unit ¾ textbook next year (I will create a book using iBooks Author) • Currently ¾ of my classes are in a room with an apple TV • Thus I teach exclusive with my iPad in these rooms regularly using half a dozen app’s + a few occasional’s • This fosters a more visual and participative approach to classes • I use the school LMS (Learning Management System) for document storage and social media (closed group) for flipped learning & discussion • My aim is to nurture a culture where student learning is done both at home and in the classroom, thus freeing up time to act as a facilitator in the classroom, enabling more discussion, 1 on 1 engagement and a deep consolictiaton of concepts.
- 4. Apple TV • Enables user to wireless connect to plasma screen or data projector • Great for either the mobile teacher or for student presentations of work created on the iPad.

- 14. Rationale for Social media • Students are already connected, hence communication flows more rapidly • User can post links to web resources such as YouTube clips or podcasts – with a brief comment. Students can access web content at their convenience on their device at home thus freeing up class time • Enables and fosters student discussion on course contents thus leading to a deeper understanding for the parties involved. • Models appropriate use of social media e.g. Facebook, twitter.
- 15. Mistakes made with iPads in the classroom • Focussing on content apps (what about apps for creativity e.g. iMovie) • Lack of teacher preparation in classroom management • Treating iPad like a computer and expecting it to function like a laptop • Failure to communicate to stakeholders ‘why iPads’ • http://edudemic.com/2012/09/5-critical-mistakes-schools-ipads-and- correct-them/
